Some recent examples of the many ways scammers work to steal our money. Plus, got a TJMaxx credit card? I read the fine print for you... and it's not good.

How to make 'decluttering' less of a nightmare and more of an adventure. Or, how to trick yourself into getting started! Follow my lead. It's gotta take us somewhere.

Sometimes, even when the sky is falling, a little diversion about eating ice cream and making chocolate covered strawberries is perfectly acceptable. As long as you know you're going to need to address the sky.
86: Eating and Beating Hopelessness
Hey! I learned a couple of new things- one weird and one possibly very timely. If you've got ten minutes, and a lot of world anxiety, I may have a remedy.

A school flash back triggered by Zoom, a revelation (or three) about friends, and the best story you'll hear all week- the hotline that offers free advice and encouragement doled out by some sage little kids. Call PEP TOC at 707-998-8410... if only to hear kids laughing.
81: Angels Among Us
How can you be crushed by the loss of a casual acquaintance or even someone you'd never actually met? When you knew them to be so steeped in goodness that they raised the bar for us mere mortals.

73: It's me, sorry
Beginning the Fourth Season (whoa!) with apologies for a long delayed follow up to what could have been a disaster but wasn't and for what it is. A plea for TV help. And a great documentary on drummers not to be missed. And more.

It's feeling like we're heading back to normal... but is there a new challenge to cope with? And speaking of challenges, that Bugs Bunny quiz was a breeze!
69: #CopingWithCovid: A Special Announcement
Not just one but two big realizations- one about what a profound time this is (for all of us), and one about the secret key to unlocking creativity (at least for me) . So, I share.
And now this song is playing in my head. Could be worse, I love this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BT2yzXP8w

Seven minutes of statistics from this odd year we've lived. Some surprising and some not so much.

Damn. The good news, I figured out why I'd been over packing my fridge and have gotten that under control. The bad news? I've got a new overindulgence and sadly I'm going to have to put the kibash on that next.
Bonus: 10 Things to Like About Winter
66: #CopingwithCovid: Choosing Happiness
Okay, so life continues to be a challenge. Maybe the way to meet it is to work on a new mindset. More looking on the bright side AND a zoomless virtual class to steer your brain over to the sunny side of the street. Get your pen and paper ready!

September 11th. A date that marks both the start of my radio career at WALK and what-felt-like the end of the world. Behind the scenes on a morning radio show, any given day and then the days after disaster.
58: #CopingwithCovid; Taking Temps Part 4
Jim's radio work has quieted down, but the ShamWOW guy sent a gift! More bandmates missing music as Clutch and the guys report from the high seas. And then crank up the volume as the episode and season 2 ends with a great tune guaranteed to lift your spirits (from one of last summer's Bobby Nathan Band gigs).
