Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today, I learned some very sad news. Finnigan’s Wake will be closing its doors permanently on October 30. Finnigan’s Wake is THE reason the Arts District in Downtown Winston-Salem exploded in to ’00s. Yes, there were other now-staples such as Sweet Potatoes and 6th & Vine, but none had the impact that Fins did….

Salutations™!! I’ve been saying, at least for the last couple of years, that I had around 1300-1400 podcast episodes under my belt. I figured that was being generous to myself.

Salutations™!! Today I get to celebrate a holiday that many celebrate now but when I started there were a lot fewer. Today is International Podcast Day.

Salutations™!! Yesterday The Less Desirables Network released three episodes of the latest podcasts from The Man Who Ate the Town, The Beer Dads and Wheeler’s Dog. I think they were all good spots but then again, I’m pretty biased. You can listen to each of those if you visit the TLD Network page here. And,…
Salutations™!! Today is the 10th anniversary of The Less Desirables’ first-ever episode, both recording and airing. February 3, 2010, was a Wednesday and I went to the area between Reynolda Road, Silas Creek Parkway and Wake Forest Road and picked up Brian from work as his car was in the shop. I took him to…

Salutations™!! Yeah, I know this is Friday and in the last bit I’ve done a “Friend Friday” post but I didn’t have time to write a long and thoughtful post today. But, I am going to talk briefly about my Google Voice number again. We want to take listeners’ calls and texts for all the…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I finally had a normal Saturday. We didn’t have to put anything together. We didn’t have to install anything. We didn’t have to go anywhere. We didn’t have to work on the house. We had breakfast. We went to Underdog Records. We came home and listened to records all day. I…
