Several weeks ago, as you may recall, my pal Kalin Krohe taped me acting like a moron with a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mustard and put it on his Tik Tok account. Over 600,000 people have seen this video. One of them is an independent film director. He is currently working on … Continue reading TikTokus Interruptus
Tomorrow I am going to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Very, very early on Monday morning I will be getting a fistula done to my left arm. This is a means to get my thrice-weekly dialysis treatments in a safer way than I have been, which is via a chest port that goes to my heart. I got … Continue reading One Percent
Blogger’s Note: I am extremely squeamish in any discussion of dentists, dentistry, and now oral surgery. Since you may also be of that type, I pledge that this article will contain no harrowing details of my oral surgery. Read with assurance. My wisdom teeth have been removed. The conclusion to a two-month marathon of stress, … Continue reading Wisdom Teeth: GONE!
At the beginning of this year, I nearly expired from a symphony of ailments. You may recall hearing about it. I certainly recall it. At least, I recall the parts that actually happened. My brain ginned up a lot of nonsense while I was sick. But we’ve been through all that. Anyway, to the point … Continue reading I’m Not As Sweet As I Used To Be
This blog post is one of those personal journal-type deals. There’s some stuff coming down the pike and I feel like if I write something about it, there could be some therapeutic value in there somewhere. But who knows? I’m staring down the barrel of a gun called “wisdom teeth removal.” A couple of weeks … Continue reading The Agony and the Ecstasy (Actuallly It’s In Reverse Order, But Who’s Counting)
Yeah, I don’t believe that headline either. Let’s start at the beginning. Kalin and I go to lunch everyday. When we go to Ken and Dale’s, they bring a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Heinz Mustard to the table. Now…I’m not proud of this. Not proud at all. But one day at lunch, I … Continue reading How I Became A TikTok Superstar
July 27th is the 25th anniversary of my first day at KCOW Radio. In the summer of 1998, with college behind me, I sent out cassette tape demos to several stations that had openings. One of them was KCOW. I had a telephone interview with General Manager Mike Garwood and Kevin Horn. They also talked … Continue reading Twenty-Five Years: Holy Crap!
Ah, Heritage Days. A week of great food, spectacular live entertainment, unique events for every interest, and great food. (I mentioned great food twice, I know. I stand by it.) Heritage Days is still fun for me every year, even the years when I find myself hosting things more than doing things. So I thought … Continue reading Heritage Days: 5 Likes From The Present and 5 From The Past
Let me tell you a story. On March 6th, 2020 my ol’ buddy Kalin Krohe and I went to Chadron to see singer/songwriter Branson Anderson at the Bean Broker. It was a fantastic evening of great music, great food and drink, and a healthy supply of shenanigans. Branson Anderson at the Bean Broker, 3/6/20. Branson … Continue reading Branson Is Back! (The Musician, Not The Place)
I have now been getting thrice-weekly dialysis treatments for nearly five months. At first, the dialysis team indicated there was a chance that my kidneys may regain function. They have since dialed back their optimism. I have been informed that should the day come when I want or need to get a kidney transplant, they … Continue reading Kidney Gripes, June 2023 Edition
