Hello Again

I've been conspicuosly absent from this site and thought it was high-time you all got an update.

This last week's been an incredibly busy one. My series on Polygamy (The Real Big Love) debuted on the Nightside Project. They played it again several times in the morning and pretty much plugged it all day. Some people are talking award-winning. I really enjoyed putting it together, too.

I also got to shoot one of my interviewees with an airsoft gun and we had our Nightside one year anniversary since we've officially been on the air. We're marking that celebration with a fun show tonight. We're pretending to pull archived tape of stuff we've done through the decades. I made mine on Who Shot JR.

Oh, and one other thing I'm not supposed to mention, but I'll mention to you. They're talking syndication. By the end of the month we'll broadcast the show on our sister stations in Phoenix, Seattle, and (just for you east coasters) WTOP in DC.

I can totally relate. I was too busy to update my blog this week because I was like... I mean I was all... there was some...

Oh wait, I mean I can't relate.

Wow SJ it will be great to hear you on DC radio. I like the Nightside Project but I rarely get to listen to it since my work blocks us from streaming radio.

Cool, by time I'm back in DC this fall I'll finally be able to listen to you!!! With the time difference here in Europe, it never works out. I'm really curious to hear your new series. Does the site archive your stories?

Thanks y'all. I really need to go visit the kids still in DC. Is anyone still out there and not practically married?

I caught up on all your stuff last night. The polygamy story really was quite good and enlightening. By the way, practically married people are people too (not that I would have any personal experience with that, neccesarily).

Steve, by "back in DC" you meant for a visit, right?

So this is the part where I realize everyone's hopes are up more than they should be. I found out the show in DC will be two hours of our previously played stuff and that it will run from 1 to 3 in the AM. But they swear if you call in and demand more that they'll put it in an earlier slot. Still, if you happen to be up around that time, you might just hear me.

MJ,

No, as for "back in DC", I mean, I'm coming back to DC. Can you believe it's been two years already?!?! Anyways, two years in DC then off to another country.

So are you 'practically married' yet? ;-)

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu...

Gym Class Heroes

This isn't about gym class or heroes, but it is about the gym. Last night I went to my local gym. I admit to not going on a regular basis so the guy who checked me in noticed I still hadn't taken my complimentary personal training session. He immediately started telling me why it was so important to find out my body fat percentage and burn fat faster, and besides, he said, it's free. Okay, I might as well, right? Next thing I know Suzy Q trainers making me hold out a fat counter and charging me around the gym. I even got high-fived after every workout routine she had me do. Then came the sales pitch. I need her personal training expertise at least twice a week. that's 40 bucks a pop, so basically 80 bucks a week. ummm, no thanks. But she wouldn't budge. In her mind I needed her, I couldn't do it without her, but she was willing to let me off with the minimum of twice a month. How kind, only 80 bucks a month. Wow. I still told her no way. She insisted...
