Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! It’s time to talk about that trip we just took around the sun. It’s birthday time. Good ones, not so bad ones, memorable ones. Plans for this one.

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…

You can listen to the episode here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“The big news was,…
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™!! Today was a very laid back Monday. Not on purpose, but it just “was.” Michael and I recorded The Man Who Ate the Town, talked about the Carolina Classic Fair, Farm 2 Fourth, Eat Drink Burger Week, and more. I also had a great conversation with Chef Brian DePaulis from Providence when I visited…
Salutations™!! I went solo on The Man Who Ate the Town Podcast this week, as Michael had scheduling conflicts. That’s cool. I don’t want to do it all the time but every once in a while, it happens. On this episode, I talk about the Eat Drink Burger Week that happened last week. I talk…
