  • A Spring in Your Winter Step
    Feb 2 2026

    I think I have discovered the cheat code on how to deal with the "winter blues" and it means pulling the covers off Groundhog Day in the process. Sorry, but not sorry...

  • I Call Dibs
    Jan 27 2026

    One of the most "Chicago things" about living in Chicago during the winter season, is knowing the lore about "dibs" and how to approach this right of winter passage. I've also been thinking about how I should be calling "dibs" on just about every inch of mental space I clear out, so random people don't take it upon themselves to park their issues there.

  • The Wind Chill, The Oscars, and The Gray Hair from Hell
    Jan 22 2026

    I'm no punk because I live in Chicago, but this weekend's Polar Vortex is ready to take someone's lunch money out there and it won't be me! I have my plans set this weekend to catch up on a couple of movies since the Oscar nominations came out earlier this morning.

    New year, new season, new logo, new look, new everything!

    Can we get things started although we are already 15 days into 2026? I found my way back to not just podcasting after a much needed extended holiday time off, but to my first love in the process. I bet if you listen to this podcast close enough, you just might find your passion again too. Life took a moment to teach me a lesson within walking distance from my house...

  • I Don't Remember December
    Dec 18 2025

    As we are flying towards the holiday and are on a crash course with 2026, we have to find a way to slow things down enough so that we can at least enjoy what's left in December. Somehow, my unhealthy obsession with rearranging my studio can be a lesson in how YOU can rearrange your life.
