April 14, 2022Ep. 57 - It’s Time To Pull the Trigger on Real Change
Send us feedback!
I'm past being tired of gun violence. So much that I'm also past being on board with the 2nd Amendment. In this episode I'm laying down facts and data on the most common arguments gun owners make in defense of their guns. But that's not all, I'm also providing what I believe are logical solutions that might allow a gun owner to have a shootin' iron, while controlling a lot of the problems of gun ownership.

If Muhammad Ali lived in these times, he would be canceled… which would deny us his greatest gift. Canceling people who dissent or drop vile comments and perspectives doesn’t solve anything. Maybe it’s time to cancel cancel-culture.

Once upon a time a kid opened a gallery in her parents’ garage. Her neighborhood supported her by buying her work and encouraging her. Now she’s returning the favor by leading the way to support and foster the arts in her own back yard.

August 30, 2021Ep. 52 – Baseball, Cornfields and Strat-O-Matic… A Love Story
Send us feedback!
I recently re-discovered Strat-O-Matic baseball, after nearly 40 years. The game – and the one played on The Field of Dreams - has reignited my love for baseball. It’s also made me realize that the one constant through all the years really is baseball.

June 14, 2021Ep. 50 - On Grief and Loss
Send us feedback!
When losing a loved one, whether a pet or person, there’s no such thing a closure.
I recently lost my dog, Nub, to cancer. It came quick and wasn’t expected. I’m sharing my thoughts on that experience and working through that grief and loss. But there’s hope and Nub’s example reminded me how to cope with it.

May 31, 2021Ep. 49 – Religion Is Flawed… Faith Is Where It’s At
Send us feedback!
I’m talking with a former Catholic nun, my aunt, Reneta Webb, about her own story and the source of faith in a messy world.
Organized religions are empty corporate entities. For most of my life I’ve not had any faith in them. My aunt, a former nun, and I talk about that. We also talk about her journey, going into the convent at 13, then leaving the sisterhood after 29 years. And most importantly what the source of our faith is, and it’s not in a building, sect, or anything like that.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about where we live, and I’ll bet you’re wondering about this place too.
I’ve always been patriotic, which is why I’ve been doing a lot of wondering about our country over, well, the last couple decades, and specifically the last few years. I just don’t know about us anymore… is it time to turn over the keys? And, oh yeah, where the hell has humor gone?
