Retired dude with a band you’ve never heard of. I geek out on financial stuff. Yeah… I’m that guy.

Exciting news, everyone! My 2025 LinkedIn year in review is ready! This is particularly impactful considering that I retired in July of 2022.

So, BYU was penalized for getting blown out in its conference championship game (dropped one spot). Which allowed Miami to move up and get compared directly to Notre Dame.

But Alabama was not penalized for getting blown out in its conference championship game.

It's good to see that the ol' eye test still rules the day in college football. Wins? Losses? Meh! Pick the team that just LOOKS like a champion, even if they lose to Florida State.

This nonsense is why I watch less and less football every year.

Yeah. Rock music.

The Snowmen are the coolest band fronted by your uncle's best friend.

Hey, look! Jim Bowden is high on his own stash again!
There are high expectations for this year’s MLB Winter Meetings with so many top free agents still on the market.

Our writer, Jim Bowden, put together his wish list.

Dear retail sites: don't send me an email every day. I bought a jacket from you once. You don't need to tell me about all of your jackets every single day. It will make me unsubscribe. If you stick to weekly, monthly, or quarterly contact I might stay subscribed and I'll be less annoyed.

If you are near Buffalo on December 13 and you're even remotely a fan of music do yourself a favor and go see Hussalonia. You won't be disappointed.
For those in the Buffalo, NY area, I'll be playing an all-ages show on Saturday, December 13 at Allen Street Hardware. Four other bands on the bill, 45-minute sets apiece. Music starts at 4 PM. I go on at 6 PM, backed by a full band. $10 at the door.

Alex Anthopoulos could've taken any girl in school to the Prom, but he chose to go with his sister.

It’s game seven of the World Series. Stop interviewing the managers while the game is going on.

Oh my. I just ran across an old playlist that reminded me of the truly amazing record "Insignificance" by Jim O'Rourke. It's not on Spotify, but I just found it on Apple Music. HUZZAH!

A quick reminder: this is the best band on the planet right now. If you disagree you are wrong.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social told me "Elvis Was A Hero to Most". I'd like to remind him that what we need is awareness, we can't get careless.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social just dropped a Chester Arthur reference on Reconcilable Differences and I made a little skwee sound.

She came upstairs into the studio to help me. Or to tell me she's hungry. Either way, this is a return to normal-ish behavior.

I fed her shortly after this photo was taken.

Here's a data point to better understand me. This song lives rent free in my head. Top 3, without question.

I prepared myself to say goodbye to my beloved kitty today after over 15 years, but after removing over 250 ml of fluid from around her lungs, she is home. All of my worries about my wife and everyone else are projected onto this cat and she’s home and alive and I might sleep tonight.
