When the Protection of Walls Fails
It’s 4:30 in the afternoon. I’ve had a couple weeks where sleep has not been good for various reasons — physical especially. Sick one week, feeling muscles still sore…and then having to work a late night last night before turning around to do my show this morning. So, I know part of the heaviness I’m...
The updates are coming, but first…
Seriously personal: Monica & I are back from a much needed vacation, one that included a lot of down time for rest. As we get back to the grind, it’s time again to put out the call for donations. For those who don’t know, Monica has a major jaw issue that has resulted in the...
Updates, updates, updates
The home office finally has some organization to it, including my new recording set-up, so I guess I can take some time to check in here. Our move has already paid some dividends in reconnection. Reconnection with family and some events. Reconnection with our time, though that’s still being worked on. Reconnection with friends. Reconnection...
Slowly settling in
Oh, where to start about the past six weeks… We are in our new place in Manhattan, KS. Monica’s in the midst of a work Zoom right now as I take stock of things. There are still so many boxes to dig through, but, little by little, we’re making our new home. Trying to utilize...
The time crunch begins as the future looms
It’s getting to be time. This coming Monday will mark two weeks until I drive away from Greeley for the last time as a resident of this community, with Monica following suit later in the week. While much of our stuff isp, surprisingly, still packed from our move to west Greeley in 2017, there is...

Ep. 46: Why do people not understand expertise is necessary?
Seeing more fights over perceived “personal rights” versus information from those with expertise has me fired up....
Ep. 45: Sinusitis, Benadryl and Troy don’t mix well plus reflections on Pearl Harbor
I have an annual tradition I hate: sinus infections at some point of the fall or early winter. Benadryl and I have a tenuous relationship because of this. Also, a look at the opening moments of America’s entry into World War II as told by radio....
Ep. 44: As Weld County turns and the pandemic burns
I dip into one restaurant’s situation as a pawn in the ongoing battle between Weld County and the State of Colorado’s health department over public health emergency orders. Would you believe everyone’s at fault here?...
Ep. 43: Watching the Wheels, Economic Worry and Sports in the time of a Pandemic
After talking about how radio has changed in the last episode, today I address the jobs lost in that business in just 2020, plus take a longer look at the economy post-coronavirus. Also, another area basketball team is on hiatus because of the virus after opening the season last weekend....
