There was absolutely a plot. It was: “the is the Keys.” And they NAILED it. lol

Just make him a disgruntled Jedi that has lost his patience for all this damn Sith shit

At this point, would there be anything with Kyle Chandler that you would not watch. He’s phenomenal in everything.

Don't worry. Student loan interest will cover it

I miss having grownups in the room.

A smattering of the guests, books, and films coming to the podcast soon. We’re bringing everybody. No one is doing history like us.

Feel like you’re getting hit by a bus?

Any doubt he’d be riding along with Custer, bragging about their horses?

As Indiana Jones would say, it’s not the years, it’s the mileage, right?

A Quiet Night in Loud Times Making soup, losing at Scrabble, and remembering that rest is sometimes the most radical thing we can do.

Alright. It’s Wednesday. It’s practically April. And you know what Prince said about April (I’m trying to manifest snow as hard as I can). Let’s get after it.

Oh, by the way, if you want that recipe, it’s stunningly easy to make. Check it out here: 17/

So no great social media moments. I didn’t trend. Nothing went viral. And I sure as hell didn’t make a huge leap forward in my plans for global media domination. I breathed. We breathed together. And the soup was good.

That’s enough. 16/

And I guess that’s my big revelation. Tonight was about rest. Rest is needed because lord knows we have a fight on our hands, don’t we? But it’s ok to let someone do the fighting when we need a break. 15/

For a moment we dozed off on the couch for a moment before she had to grab her littles from their evening events. And it felt like heaven. 14/

I made caldo verde, something I picked up on TikTok. We played Scrabble. And I paid far too much attention to Amy’s cat and dog, singing 90s country to the former, pictured below. I also lost said game of Scrabble. Badly. 13/

I decided to make the drive north to Colorado Springs, stopping at the grocery along the way. Tonight would not be anything special. Tonight, I just wanted to see a nice lady who is a few months older than me (sorry babe), and make her dinner. That’s it. 12/

And all that has a cumulative effect. We need snowfall to saturate all the foliage so the whole world doesn’t go up in flames. Ranchers need green grass to feed their livestock. Fish need oxygenated water to do fish things. And so on. So the rain today along with a dip in temps felt like mana. 11/

We finally got some rain today. If you don’t know, Colorado and much of the West is suffering from a lack of precipitation. It simply has not snowed this winter. Really, we haven’t even had a winter. It’s not supposed to be 74 degrees in February, but that’s where we were last week. 10/

Not every day can be a huge victory. Some days a win is just staying the course. 9/

A fun thing about this point in life—and if you’re older tell me I’m wrong—is that you’re so damn tired all the time. Even finding the energy takes energy. I remember thinking about this and talking with her about the idea of forward progress. 8/

And in this case, Amy and I are both trying to make it in this world while raising kids, juggling careers, and refusing to give up on wanting something more. God knows that’s all challenging enough, and then throw in dating. Good times. 7/

One of the wonderful things about finding someone at your age when you are my age is that you’ve both lived lives. You’ve seen and done things. 6/

I sat at Amy’s table tonight, telling her of my writing plans for the evening, when she said something remarkable: “why don’t you tell them about tonight? People will want to hear that from you.” Maybe she had a point, because there was a reason I was sitting with her in the first place. 5/

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had trouble sleeping lately. I can’t seem to be at ease. Couple all that nonsense along with coparenting from 2,000 miles away and the gradual realization that yes, middle age is upon me…oof. 4/

And let’s face it—it’s not pretty. Epstein. Iran. Wealth inequality. Public lands under attack. Duke has a basketball team. And as I’m typing this, I’m seeing reports of American attacks in Ecuador, meaning even FIFA is rethinking its decision making process. It’s a lot. And it’s exhausting. 3/

Ok, so I’m joking a bit but there is a certain reality about being plugged in these days. There’s so much out there that even when you have a point to make that it’s hard to penetrate all the chatter out there. 2/
