Staying home.

In my 20s and early 30s my friends nicknamed me Dracula. "He only comes out at night." I was out all night nearly every night.

Talk radio. Used to dread car rides with my dad as a kid listening to sport talk or glen beck. Now I rarely listen to music while driving, it’s podcasts or sport talk radio.


I’m not going to say I dread it, but I almost never listen to music on car rides anymore. My wife can listen to the same 100 songs for the rest of her life (mainly 90’s and early 2000’s country) but I am constantly skipping objectively great songs or songs that I know I love.

I need new music

Coffee and beer.

Turns out, beer was always good, I’ve just never cared for shitty, cheap beer.

Coffee took me a minute. I tried a lot. I was about 35 or so when coffee came calling. Now I drink a pot before 10 am.
