Rebranding our parks, monuments and beloved entities more correctly, per Trump at least, and the reshaping of our Constitution for a "grave new world" are both  a part of this conversation. That and the definitions for our new "Departments of..." and "Agencies for..." are going to get a subtle explanation of their purpose. At...

Some episodes get enough attention or generate enough commentary that they're worht repeating for the benefit of those who may have missed them. So, I've done it myself and reposted this episode on doing it yourself. You wouldn't expect me to be a hypocrite now would you?

With Kirk's tragic death, the media frenzy erupted, amplifying every detail of his life and the despicable act that took it. Amidst the noise, I attempt to provide clarity on how these tragic incidents reflect deep...

Why limit the luxury of substitutions to sports when every profession could benefit from a fresh-faced backup? Seriously, let's consider some options you may not have thought about. It's appropriate with the baseball season inching toward the world series, let's designate everything.

You know... I've never really unpacked "fully" from any of my moves, across country or locally. Am I a perpetual tourist or am I actually the "tour guide"?  Maybe it's just a tourist mindset and this is my best Sacramento life.

What happens when you love your hobby so much, it becomes your job? 

You no longer have a hobby! In today's gig world and everyone having a side-hustle (is that really a hobby?) this conversation warrants some thought. I do it for you in this episode.

Can cooking really serve as a form of mental health therapy? Cooking requires focus and provides a delicious distraction from life's ups and downs. For me, that clarity is therapy. Reading a cookbook is also like therapy and when written well, I wonder, does that book belong in self-help or in the "cooking" section of the bookstore? As culi...

Ah, California’s bullet train. The gift that keeps on... waiting. Will we ever see it get built? It’s a bold vision — to build a train no one can ride, between places no one wants to go, with money no one has. Let me share my observations.

 Got print? "Start" the presses may be a bit of a stretch given I've written for at least two publications that have "stopped" them. Let's not get too critical now. I only contributed relevant, engaging and I might even add humorous content at times. As for my current publisher...well, let's just keep that between us.

To the very contrary of the "R" word , I've been slightly overwhelmed with deadlines. I'm sure you've noticed a "repurposing" of recent popular episodes. Knowing you're clever enough to deduce the meaning of the "R" in the title, things have been quite, dare I say, busy of late. No need for concern, I am w...

As a self-proclaimed 'man for no seasons,' and I mean seasons of all types, from weather to astrological, how is it one is able to survive? And given my astrological sign of Scorpio... sound familiar?
