Technology is getting weirder and weirder. In the past couple of months I have had two encounters with the Meta glasses. In one instance I had a very negative emotional reaction to seeing them and in the other I had no emotional reaction at all. So what does it mean?

He encountered a Good Samaritan, Zach during his ordeal and Zach was able to assist Rodney until EMTs arrived. After his hospital stay, Rodney was on a mission to thank Zach.

I have a guest today! Maddie Payne owns Statemint West Knoxville, a franchise of the Statemint Universe that started here in Knoxville. (It's thrifting on steroids) Maddie tells me all about being a female entrepreneur, why she's in the consignment business and other fun stuff. We also bonded over not knowing what to wear after having kids (Seriously a bigger deal than I ever could have imagined).

I grew up listening to Sawyer Brown and I thought Mark Miller was an absolute dream boat. I also thought the "Race Is On" was a Sawyer Brown song until I was in my 20's and so did another country superstar. We talk about the Hey Day of Sawyer Brown, how they got discovered on tv before there was American Idol and why 90s country is the best. 

Thank you to Mark for the time and if you want to see Sawyer Brown on June 6 here is ...

The last time I had to find a new general practitioner the process was so easy. I had a buddy recommend a doctor to me, they took my insurance, bada bing boda boom I had a doctor for the next 17 years. Then he retired. And now I am in limbo trying to get seen by someone I actually like.

We are roughly three weeks into the new year and some might still be riding high on those New Year's Resolutions or Goals and some might be hitting a wall. Wherever you are you're still on the rollercoaster of emotion. I read a great email today about understanding the phases of the emotional rollercoaster and learned some tips to make sure you don't get stuck or even worse, derailed.

My nerves are raw and I am at the point where I might lose my $h#t if I see one more ad that promises to regrow my natural hair delivered to me by a woman wearing hair extensions. This is a rant. 

I feel much better getting this off of my chest.
