Sometimes I feel like life is going just the way I want it. I’m on a role and I can’t afford to stop the momentum. That’s how I felt two weeks ago. I landed a couple of new clients with really great projects to work on. Plus I was bringing back my Under The Dome Podcast for season 3 and starting up a new podcast for Killjoys. I didn’t think I could afford a vacation. I’m not talking money wise, but time wise. I had too much to do and I really didn’t want to stop. I was in the groove. Read More…
302- Finding Clarity

Death has been chasing every single one of us since the day we were born and despite our best efforts to eat right, exercise, laugh, and take care of ourselves, it will one day catch us. There is no escaping it.
I must admit that as a 39 year old, I still feel like death is a lifetime away. Why is that? I’ve seen death’s clutches take hold of men, women, boys, and girls much younger than me. I know that my life could be snuffed out this very day. Yet for all intents and purposes I live as though I have another 40 years to go. Even still, if that’s the case, I’m now middle aged.

300- Reaching Milestones

Today is a milestone. This is the 300th episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday. That’s quite impressive when you consider that most podcasts don’t last beyond 10 episodes. But is it a reason to celebrate? In a way perhaps. We should at least acknowledge it. This is a milestone moment after all, and as the definition points out it’s an important point in the progress of this podcast. Just like episode 250 was and episode 200 before that, and so on. That’s what milestones are. Points in the progress. They help us measure how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. Read More…
299- Choosing What’s Hard

Last Wednesday my family visited the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman, Oklahoma. Kari and I were looking forward to our visit, but the kids were not. Visiting museums is not how they envisioned spending their summer vacation. We tried to get them excited by telling them that the museum had dinosaur skeletons and telling them about other fun museums they have visited, but they weren’t buying it. It was still a museum and it was not nearly as exciting as visiting the waterpark or going to see a movie. Read More…

Have you ever had one of those days where you’re just not in the mood to do anything? That’s how I feel today. It’s 11:30 at night and I’m sitting in front of my keyboard trying to compose my SILY episode but I’m just not into it. Read More…

For those of you who are parents, have you ever wondered if your kids are listening? Who am I kidding, of course you have. Sometimes it’s maddening.
There are times when my wife or I will tell our kids to do something only to hear them say they never heard us. I know that it’s possible to not hear someone even when they are in the same room, but I’m quite certain that there are times when my kids choose not to hear us, especially when we ask them to do something that they don’t want to do.
