Well, we finally did it: we went hi-def. After years of research, stalling, criticizing the state of the art and worrying about replacing our kids’ DVD collection, we bit the bullet.  We are now the proud owners of a large (for us) flat-screen LCD TV.  Of course, since I was involved, its purchase and installation was, if nothing else, an odyssey.

Rule #1 of Married Life in the 21st Century: ALWAYS HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE ON YOUR PERSON.  ALWAYS.

Best wishes to everyone who is dealing in one way or another with the devastating fires here in Southern California.  Shortly after recording this show, I heard that our friend Doug Price from < he Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd lost his home in the fires.  Then, shortly after, I received a message he’d sent out telling everyone that he is fine and that he has a place to stay and clothes and insurance and everything he needs.  He requested that if anyone wanted to send money, that they should send it to the Red Cross.  I was overwhelmed by his calm reassurance.

Be safe, Geoghegan.
Anyway, back to the useless chatter…

So, I FINALLY get recognized here in LA!  Has my podcast finally brought me some sort of recognition in the outside world?  Well, yes and no…

Seth and Nathan Anderson rock. I did a little work on their new short film, Black. It’s great. Check it out when you can.

And, I got a ticket.  A “fix it” ticket.  Which means, I guess, that you’re actually supposed to fix your car.  Who knew.  Don’t bother consulting the owners manual of a Volkswagen Passat when you need to change a break light bulb.  You don’t even want to know what it says.

At the end of this episode, I give shout outs to: Tim Coyne of ollywood Podcast, Lance Anderson of Verge of the Fringe, Cush of Things I Say, Bill Palmer of iProng Magazine, Podrunner, Jason Tucker of Tucker Tales, Geoffrey Tozer the Sly Crooner, Charles Stepczyk of Insomnia Radio, Leah D’Emilio from Mahalo Daily…

And, yes, I know, that is an awefully “Happy Dan” photo, lacking some of the edge and spite of the show.  Truth is, that is how happy I am when Princess T is on my shoulder…

Today marks the 4th Anniversary of The Bitterest Pill. And, I think it’s time again to speak freely…

Okay, sort of freely. Really, I don’t say anything except this: I WANT an elitist President. I don’t want a president who I could see myself “having a beer” with. I want a president who (whom?) is so educated, so knowledgeable and so charismatic that if I were ever in their presence, I would want to run from the room or bask in their glory.

This week is all about preserving my wife’s right to vote. I ended up having to go to the county office to hand in her mail-in ballot application. I have this naive notion that I would just walk up and hand it in. Nice try.

Weigh the issues and VOTE tomorrow. Please. If you don’t vote on Tuesday, you can’t complain on Wednesday.
