Salutations™!!

I did something I’ve not done in a while today and that’s got a sunburn. I met with my friend Stallone Frazier to do a few headshots for a project or two I have coming up and we were on top of a building downtown. I wanted scenes from the town I love. That’s not what did it, though.

So red I glow! (no, not really)

Stallone is an awesome dude and we had a two-hour conversation about life, business, business life, kids, parents, and so on. It was just cool talking with him. I dig him a lot and what time we get it was good just hanging out on the top of this building. The bad part was it was right in the sun. There was a lovely shaded space but we didn’t move there. I think we both thought we’d end the conversation at any time but it went on for two hours. But, you know what? To me, it was worth it.

So, for the next few days, I’ll still be able to fry an egg on my head and will start peeling, but that’s okay. All is good. Thanks again, Stallone! I’ve seen other people’s headshots he’s done and they’ve been great, but the subject matter was me this time. I will probably hate them because I’m in them, but I’m sure the shots will be great! When I have something, I’ll share. Stallone is also working on branding for me for a “new venture” which isn’t really new, but he did The Man Who Ate the Town logo, which I love. You should contact him if you need photography or graphic design done.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

I promise that I am not going to keep rambling about this. But, I think I’m allowed to still be proud of my boy. He started work today and there were some hiccups that were all on him and had nothing to do with the job. He was there on time, he did what he was told.

Chef Niki said he was humble, attentive, and enthusiastic.

He even washed dishes. We asked how she got him to do that. Her response: “I told him to wash dishes.”

So, the first night was a success. He said he was a little tired. But, okay, I’ve given you all that you can probably handle.

Yesterday we recorded The Man Who Ate the Town, The Beer Dads and today we recorded Apartment 5B. You can listen to the latest episodes here:

Catching a Buzzy or: a Long Day Through

We recorded Fan Interference today and TC and HB interviewed Greg Dortch, a former All-ACC WR from Wake Forest who is attending the NFL Scouting Combine in a few weeks and hopes to be drafted. It was a cool interview.

Then I ran down to Uncle Buzzy’s and attended a tasting especially for food bloggers. I ate myself stupid. I probably had around three pounds of food. That may or may not be the case, but it sure did feel like it. It was all so good, though. Look for a post about it in the next few days, over on The Man Who Ate the Town blog/podcast. Again, it was a lot of food.

Then we recorded The Less Desirables and we had Sam Foster and Seth Williams of the band Whiskey Foxtrot and they played three tunes on the podcast, live. I did Facebook Live teasers of the three songs. So you should go listen to them, as they’re pretty awesome tunes.

To hear the interview with Mr. Dortch, listen HERE. To hear the songs from Whiskey Foxtrot, listen HERE.

I’m done. Oh, the “posting movie” this week is 1984 starring John Hurt, Richard Burton and Suzanna Hamilton.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

This has been a long week, Dear Reader. It has been long and wonderful. I wish every week were this busy and fruitful. I wish every day could be any day this week.

From sun up to sun down I was doing exactly what I needed and exactly everything I could want.

So, as my gift to you being this is a great week for me, is that I won’t make you read a bunch of baloney. I just wanted to say thank you to all my podcast partners, co-hosts, content providers, clients and listeners. Man, this has been great!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

I’m Not Tellin’ or: Game Changer

I told you yesterday that I had something to write about today but I have decided that it’s just not time yet. I mean, I will write about it, I just can’t tell you what it is. I am still working out details but it is a “job” that will allow me to do what I feel is one of the things I’m pretty good at, and that’s talking. shure_mikrofon_55s

Yeah, I do podcasts and talk all the time on those, but this is a whole different world. It’s also something that I’ve been trying to get into for a while. Now, it’s a temporary but possibly permanent thing. I know I’m Vague-booking right now, and I apologize for it, but it’s a big deal to me and, again, I don’t want to jinx it until I know all the pieces have fallen into place.

So, sorry for the copout but I promise, when I can talk about it, I will. It will be a “game changer,” though.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

I forgot to say — because I was writing other things on Monday — that we did The Man Who Ate the Town and The Beer Dads this week (and The Less Desirables). But, on The Beer Dads this episode, we talked about teaching the kid about budgeting. Cl1JVyyWYAAbovF

I found it funny that 3B came home today during his “travel period” between Career Center and high school and needed gas. After a long discussion about his First Quarter grades not being “too hot” as he called it, he had to get back to school. I took money by school for him a little bit later.

First of all, yes, he has a large SUV that sucks the gas like fish suck water. And, he has started living here at his grandmother’s house (Ma Mère’s) during the week because his mother for whatever reason decided to buy a house in a small town 45 minutes away. So, it is a little better now as he only has to fill up weekly, not $50 worth every three days. But, he hasn’t even gotten his “after 9s” yet. Wait until he starts going places and doing things. Yeah, I’m waiting. I won’t be able to help all that much.

Some think its better that he concentrate on school and not get a job while others think he should get a job. I see both sides and have overall mixed feelings about it. He’s finally found something that really interests him and I want him to concentrate on that. However, he’s not doing “jack” in the rest of his classes that don’t contain the words “weight” and “lifting.” Money is tight and he’s going to want to do things. So, I don’t know what to do about it.

Anywhat, I digress.

Yesterday, The BCPF and I walked a short morning walk, ate at Mary’s Gourmet Diner and then I went to work. We left the studio around 5:30p and went to eat, which was a small adventure, but we had wine and that’s okay. We’re back to the studio this morning to finish the work that I’m charged with. See you tomorrow…

That Time of Year or: Let’s Do It

Salutations™!!

Remember about this time last year when I had that big project going on that meant that I was going to be a little distant for a bit? Well, it’s that time of year again. I have that same project coming up and it’s bigger than it ever has been. That means that in addition to the five podcasts that I’m doing and the ones that I’m doing for others, I’m going to be slammed busy.635838488040088008-2069932616_businessbusy So, I just want to warn you that whilst I do try to make my posts at least 350 words – I think I average around 500 – this blog will probably do a lot of piggybacking (I can’t stop doing the other things) and truncated posts.

That gives you all a break from my verbosity, though, right? I’ll still be doing the beer on Wednesday, the Eugeology reviews on Thursday, movie review on Saturday and Silent Sunday, well… on Sunday, but Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays will probably be shorter and to the point. Perhaps some videos or memes or something. I don’t know. But, even today’s post? It’s just a 200± word information sheet about what I’ll be doing in the next bit. And, even now… I’m done.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
