Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! So, on Monday, I recorded a podcast for Useless Things. But, I forgot to post it here. I did post it on the Useless Things Podcast page and on the TLD Network page. On Monday, I talked about my birthday/Friendsgiving celebration at The Katharine Brasserie and Bar as well as remembering Eric Carr and…
Salutations™!! As you may or may not know, Dear Reader, I have written this blog “every day” (at least FOR every day) since November 1, 2014. That was right after, well a month and a half after, my honeymoon. I did the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time list (the 2012 list that…
Salutations™!! Let me start by saying that the number in the title has nothing to do with what I’m going to say here. I tallied up my totals for my podcast episodes. The last I checked, in September, it was 2186. As of today, I have produced or co-produced 2281 episodes. So 95 since September…
Salutations™!! Like last week, I had a post for yesterday, so I didn’t do the food blog promo. So, here we go… Michael and I talked about Finnigan’s Wake closing and my visit. We talked about the places in Greensboro that I went to, a new “fry” place coming, and more. We had a good…
Salutations™!! Since I was doing my tribute to Finnigan’s Wake yesterday, I didn’t do the “piggyback”. The Man Who Ate the Town was recorded before I knew about Finnigan’s closing. Michael was working on that story so he wasn’t with me. I talk about: Farm 2 Fourth happened and raised over $90k for helping feed…
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.

Salutations™!! Fridays are networking days for me as I am part of The Best Damn Referral Group, or TBD as we call it. But, that’s not the network I’m talking about this week. I am always talking about all the TLD Network shows, but not about the network itself. Let’s run them down: The Less…
Salutations™!! It’s your weekly reminder to get your chunk of today’s music history by listening to Beeswax Vinyl Daily. Music happenings on this day in history, albums that were released, musical peeps that were born on this day and people who left us. There’s some snark and comedy in there, but mostly it’s neutral and…
