From the Captain's Chair

It was Thanksgiving weekend, and I took a road trip. Here's my reflections on going up to see family as well as on my return trip. All from the Captain's Chair.

New Dawg

I have recently added a furry companion to my household, and it's been quite the experience going from an older dog that lived a lifetime with me, to beginning of a new one.

Life with Its Ups and Downs

This past month has been quite involved for me, and it feels like I am both on top of the world and down in the rut. I would like to share some of my experiences today.

Nothing to Fear

Election day is over; hooray! But now we get the post election coverage, and as much blame as was passed around in the come up of the election, we are now getting ready to assume a defensive stance from the assault of the victors. And I feel was this was best displayed through Tim Walz's wife's, Gwen, introduction speech. But if we look at what obsticals we, as a country, have over come, and what other prominent figures have spoken in the past, I know we have nothing to fear.

Today, I am full of gratitude of a donation given on another podcast, giving me an accreditation. This led me down a road of the English language to find out which word to most appropriately use to show my appreciation.
