As I look towards the 2025 baseball season (after a crushing end for my Yankees in 2024), I find myself thinking about how it relates to publishing my podcast. Like many things in life, both have a number of moving parts and contexts in which you want to change your approach. For example, in baseball,…

Remember when celebrities used to endorse everything? It worked for a while (hello, Air Jordans gathering dust in your closet). But then came the era of the Social Media Influencer. We followed people like @alexis.belbel because they felt relatable (and, in my case, they were 5’1 and knew where to buy pants that didn’t need…

I have a draft in Ulysses that’s at least 18 months old. Want to know how I know? Here’s the intro: I have changed that at least 3 times: Usually, I’m great at writing — I wouldn’t have committed to writing at least 14 articles, and publishing 24, in the month of December if I…

One of my mom’s favorite songs is The Christmas Shoes, the 2000 song by Christian vocal group NewSong. If you don’t know it, you’ll get the entire vibe from these devastating lyrics: Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size Could you…

I completed a task over the weekend that I never thought I’d be able to do: I replaced the boards and stairs on my deck. Now, to be clear, my Father-in-Law, his brother, and my Brother-in-Law were the real MVPs here. I’m very unskilled when it comes to this type of work. My Father-in-Law basically…

I don’t subscribe to the “Butterfly Effect” — the aspect of chaos theory that some event so small, like a butterfly flapping its wings, can have profound effects on the trajectory of our world. However, I do love it when a plan comes together as a series of events collides. Over the course of 6…
