Anklecast 42: There Goes My Life

Rish Outfield has been bugging me to do an episode in which I talk about the emotional toll that it takes on a parent to have their child go off to college and essentially leave the family for good to start their own life and possibly their own family one day. Well, I resisted the peer pressure as long as I could, but when he called me a poopoo head, it was more than I could bear, so I caved in and made the episode. Here is the result, what is probably a far too intimate glimpse into my life. Hope you like what you see...

Anklecast 41: Some Heavy Talk, Part II

I finish the story of my weight loss journey, then talk about the theory behind it. It's something that I'm really passionate about, but I know that not everybody cares so much. So, I won't be too upset if you skip it. I feel like I've finally found the key, and I want everyone who might be in a similar situation as me to also know it. It's all about hormones folks. Anyway, watch the show if you're interested. I'll be back with something completely different next time, but I'll probably come back to this subject again eventually when I finish losing all the weight.

Anklecast 40: Some Heavy Talk, Part 1

In today's episode, Big tells the beginning of the story that he is right in the middle of living. It's a bit of a weight loss journey combined with a bit of paradigm shifting journey. Sadly, he blabbed so long that he couldn't tell it all, so he will be back again (eventually) to tell you part two, and if it goes as well as this one, part three on another day.

Anklecast 39: Must Have Been A Pickpocket, It Couldn't Be My Fault

Reporting back on writing, and a couple of other disaster stories from my New Orleans trip. I really ought to look back on that trip as the worst ever, but somehow I don't. Weird.

Anklecast 36: So What's It Like?

Here's the podcast about Houston, and what it's like living here.

I tried really hard to come up with something other than, "Houston, we have a problem," because that phrase, and countless inane variations of it, are pretty much the only thing anyone uses in conjunction with the word Houston. For example, when the Astros won the world series, what was the headline in the newspaper? "Houston, we have a championship." It gets tedious. So, I went a totally different direction and came out with a much worse title for the episode. Sorry.

I ramble way too much, and get sidetracked, and even talk about my cat, which is crazy. Watching this show, I realize that I need to get these Anklecasts out more often, so I can make them shorter, more to the point, and tell better stories in them. Hopefully, I can get that going, but you know me, so probably not.
