The Way I See Things w/ Ken Boone, Sr.

We're in the home stretch, so I thought that now would be a good time to check in once again on my Resolutions for Calendar Year 2022. Now is also the time that I start thinking about my Resolutions for next year. But today, I'd like to revisit the three music-related items on my list, and why they fell by the wayside. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

I'm feeling a little nostalgic today, thinking about my childhood home. Hope you enjoy. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

In the world of sports, we root for our teams... win, lose or draw. With the midterm elections upon us, I think I'll take the same approach. I'll vote for my people and accept the outcome. I'm too old to play any games and, by this time, too wise to fall for scare tactics. Go Team! SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

This marks the 50th full episode of this podcast! Thanks for supporting me by listening to this podcast and reading my weekly blog posts. God Bless! SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

I'm thrilled to be entering season 4 of “Much More to Say”. This season will present a new set of challenges, or should I say, growth opportunities. I'm ready to start this new chapter. Would you like to come along for the ride? Thanks, and tell a friend or two! SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

Three years after my health scare, what is the state of my existence? I'm happy, pretty damn healthy, happily married, a proud father and grandfather, and enjoying a retirement filled with pursuing my life's passions! In this episode, I'd like to thank just some of the many people who are responsible for me having this fantastic new life! SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

Over a decade ago, someone asked me what I wanted to do with the rest of my life? At the time, I didn't have a ready answer. For me to know "what", I first had to discover "who" I was. Then I could answer the "what", and all the other questions: "when", "where", "why", and let's not forget "how". SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

Because I've been here since 2009, I felt it was time to switch my sports rooting interests from teams based in NYC to teams based in the South. But this episode isn't about hardcore, or even passive, fandom. It's more about hometown pride, with me having felt that sense of pride for the first time in my life!

The American poet and essayist Mary Karr once said that “a dysfunctional family is any family with more than one person in it.” And here's a quote from an anonymous source that also fits this topic: “There is no such thing as the perfect family. Every family is unique with its own combination of strengths and weaknesses.” Just because someone grew up in a dysfunctional family doesn’t mean there is...

While keeping a family secret from the outside world may be advisable in some instances for privacy or protection, keeping secrets within the family can prove problematic. Keeping can destroy relationships, children’s lives, cause suspicion and resentment, create a false sense of reality, cause illness, and lead to a life of underachievement. In this episode, we'll begin to dive into family dynami...

Once again, I go back to my 2022 New Year’s Resolution #8, which is to “Attend Church Occasionally”. Well, I can tell you that this past Saturday, I found myself in a church, at a gathering. Not a service, but at a very special 12-Step meeting. It's been over two years since I've seen these wonderful friends! SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

This episode is a follow up to “Ep032: Are Those Seats Taken?” There I shared a number of reasons why folks want to attend church, as well as reasons for not wanting to attend, using surveys plus my own opinions. Today, I'll take a deeper dive. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

2022 New Year’s Resolution #6: Watch less cable news and return to watching. After a while, sports watching brought on even more stress than political news. What really drives me nuts is listening to the loud "experts" who love the sound of their collective voices. In this episode, without naming names I'll identify them, their behavior, and how we should deal with them. Now that I know how to cop...

Insincerity is the action or practice of pretending to feel something that you do not really feel, or not meaning what you say. It is a sign of weakness, with some of the reasons being narcissism, control, and insecurity. Sincerity, even in error, is a sign of strength. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

Fatherhood isn’t for wimps! It took me a minute to learn that for myself. It’s something that challenges me every day, even though my son, my only child, is over 30 years old, lives over 250 miles away in Atlanta, GA, and is a father himself. The worries never end. He always thanks me for being a great Dad, but I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to give a long-overdue shout out to...

Our car was recently totaled, with us inside! Physically we were fine. It was the other driver's fault, by his own admission. The police officer on the scene agreed, as did his insurance company. So, the processing of the claim should have been a slam dunk. That was until the humanoids started tinkering with a system that should work flawlessly, which always ends badly. A lot of people have horror...

This is the third week in a row that I’m publishing a new episode of this podcast. If I make it to five weeks in a row, I’ll find an interesting way to celebrate! But until then, let’s keeping moving forward! Now that I’m working with a decluttered mind and can accept the fact that nobody is perfect, and that excellence is more than good enough, I can take on what I hope is the final roadblock. An...

Welcome back! In my last episode, I announced that I would try my best to publish a new episode every week! As a procrastinator, and a perfectionist, I know that I’ll have to get those character flaws in check if I’m going to come close to achieving my goal of a new episode each week, beginning now! SHOW NOTES are available for this episodes.

At the end of my last episode, I said I’d be announcing the new direction of this podcast. After working out most of the kinks, I've decided to do everything in my power to publish a new episode every week! Will I be able to publish an episode of this podcast every week? I’d bet on it! But first I'll have to declutter my mind of all unnecessary and unproductive thoughts. Wish me luck! SHOW NOTES a...

Rolling down the highway, we find ourselves approaching the halfway mark of 2022. So, let’s use this time and this episode to bring you the final progress report on my New Year’s Resolutions. I will use the second half of this year to make steady improvement on the good habits I've adopted so far. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

The end of this block of episodes is in sight! I’ve already given updates on 10 of my 15 Resolutions for 2022. I originally wanted to save Item 4 (“Keeping up the good work”) for last. As sort of a recap, or better yet, as a touchstone that I can return to from time to time. But then it occurred to me… is it enough to just stick with these resolutions, or should I actually try to improve on them o...

Item 8 on my list of New Year's Resolution for 2022 calls for me attending occasional church services. For reasons that are not clear to me, doing so presents challenges where there should be none. In this episode, I'll explore the reasons for attending as well as the reasons I might use to skip church altogether. This should be interesting.

I'm considering dropping Item 12 from my list of New Year's Resolution for 2022 (conducting interviews for this podcast). I came to the realization that this type of social interaction is something I can do without. I also discovered that being an introvert/loner isn't necessarily a bad thing. That was then, and this is now. I am grateful that success in my life today doesn't depend on the number...

In this episode, I'll update you on Item 5 of my music-themed New Year's Resolution for 2022 (making my house livable again). Going through the unmarked boxes collecting dust, I found reams of documents relating to bad relationships, bad financial times, and bad relationships caused by bad financial times. That was then, and this is now. I am grateful that success in my life today doesn't depend o...
