What the Heck is Tai Chi Walking and Why Is It’s Marketing So Effective?
If you’re like me, and by that I mean an overworked, overstressed, overeating, undersleeping, slightly overweight 50-something Male that spends a little too much time on Instagram and far too much time listening to Podcasts, then you’ve probably seen an advertisement for Tai Chi… Continue Reading “What the Heck is Tai Chi Walking and Why Is It’s Marketing So Effective?”

I work in Radio. I capitalize the word “Radio” out of respect. I’ve worked in Radio for 28-years! Nowadays I guess I say I “work in Audio“, but between me and you … it’s Radio. Radio formats have come and gone. There’s no more… Continue Reading “A Morning at WWJ Newsradio 950”

For the entire month of December, I pondered and meditated about my 2026 Resolutions. Then…bam! It’s the “new year” and I’m off to a slow start. Or am I? Some resolutions only work if you start immediately on Day-1 (ie “Exercise Every Day”), but most resolutions… Continue Reading “2026 New Year’s Resolutions”
What I Got!
I spend too much on lots of little things and flights of fancy, but I’m actually notoriously cheap. Frugal? Fiscally conscious? Basically, if I had a genie lamp and three wishes, one wish would be that every day I wake up and there’s a… Continue Reading “What I Got!”

Year of the ____________
Remember I already declared 2026 will be the Year of the Pen. Meaning, I switch from only using wood pencils for everything … work notes, journaling, sketching, etc … to using ONLY pens. Additionally, it’s going to be the “Year of” a few more… Continue Reading “Year of the ____________”
