Failing Up
Life is improvisation! Observations from a regular guy on how with world around us impacts who we are and what we perceive. I explore how life is more about asking questions than accepting what is presented. In addition to my own reflections and experiences, I interview guests from the art, literary, music, cultural and political fields to gain insight as to how we all impact the world we share and our joint realities.
We are all failing up!

Grill Baby Grill
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the outdoor grills come out and cooking outside mostly over a gas fabricated fire is the thing to do here in the Northeastern part of the U.S. From the time humans were able to control fire some 2 million years ago, outdoor cooking became a survival tool, than through our evolution a recreational activity. Make no mistake a man is king when cooking his meat over a fire! Yes, it is mostly a man thing around the grill just like millions of years ago, "stand back and let me cook", says the great hunter with his kill. We have evolved, from sticks, to sparks, to matches and lighter fluid, and now gas. I still like the taste and smell of lighter fluid on my hotdog! No more wood or charcoal, just a furnace, and a gas tank connected to some type of sparking device. It always tastes better when cooked over a fire, just like 2 million years ago, or so they say.
