Our half marathon episode on the way to one hundred, settling into my new responsibilities at work, battling the undertow of email, running into my old buddy Tom Rhodes on a recent walk, catching up on our COVID lives, a protracted analysis on the pros and cons of feeling relieved at having taken on less responsibility at work, the advantages you stand to gain from assuming greater responsibilities at certain points in life, crashing into the side of a conversational cliff, the baseless criticism of Amanda Palmer for providing an opportunity to artists, feeling lucky to live at a time when Spotify exists, doing your due diligence before entering any market (especially a creative one), selling yourself short by "sticking to your principles," half vs. full marathons and the danger of confusing your sense of accomplishment at completing the former with being on par with the latter, video games, getting back in touch with the numinous, reflecting on what it took to reach fifty episodes, and feeling grateful to those who have followed us this far.
