Episode 97: Training Tiger Woods
A few days before we recorded this episode, I watched the final few holes of the final round of the Masters golf tournament. As I watched, I found myself thinking that what was most notable about this year’s tournament was the absence of Tiger Woods. Tiger burst into the world’s consciousness back in 1997 with …
Episode 96: Transitions
Earlier this spring, I was facing a few major transitions. The end of ski season meant I’d soon be out of a job, which meant both that my daily patterns would change and also that I would need to figure out how I was going to spend the skiing off-season. I was also going to …

Episode 90: Jerry Got His First Vaccine Shot
Jerry got his first vaccine shot and found that it brought up a lot of interesting feelings.
