I read the Great Gatsby over the weekend (for the first time) and I found it to be quite enjoyable. I thought it would be fun to have read the book before seeing the movie. Janet basically dared me to read the book, and I accepted the challenge. I don’t think that she concurs with [...]
This has been the shittiest week in recent memory. Certainly the worst since 911, 2001. In some ways, I found the Marathon Bombings to be more upsetting. Possibly because it was more comprehensible. Even on a good day, 911 still seems hard to believe. I’m sure some of that is the luxury of distance, but [...]
I am indeed back from my vacation within a vacation, and again find myself in South Florida cranking out the podcast magic. I can really say that I actually can feel the difference between dry heat and wet heat after my little AZ sojourn, but enough talk about my white guy problems. We had a [...]
It has been almost five years since my last vacation. I have taken a few days off here and there, but not a week long mind-clearing vacation. The last vacation I took was a great vacation, and the entire family (sons and wives/girlfriends) went to Hawaii. We were there for a week, and I don’t [...]
Sitting here on the back porch in FL watching the boats go by and trying to figure out a way to make money off of it. Jimmy Buffet would be the example I’m trying to follow on this. I know he was on his front porch, but one could argue that this is the front [...]
Phil Rosenthal wrote a great New Year’s Day column about new media and the shift from traditional outlets to new forms of gathering content. As a pioneer in such a venture I found it to be extremely inspiring. I have heard the Bill Bradley butter story before, but had never seen it used in the [...]
It’s Friday night and I came down into the basement to record an open/close for the Descent Into The Steve Dahl Archives show. While I am down here, I thought I would hammer out a blog. Am I trying to avoid the non-stop Xmas decorating that is going on upstairs? Definitely, but it’s also been [...]
Today (Monday) Tom Thayer talked me down off of the Bears ledge, and we both shared our dismay with the player that is Kellen Davis. Jeff Garlin joins the DahlCast on Tuesday, along with another edition of “Ask Janet”. Wednesday is usually Tami Sagher from HIMYM’s day, and Thursday it’s Richard Lewis. Every Friday we [...]
Just got back from having a couple of drinks with Jesse Jackson Jr. and a couple of ladies at a local brasserie. Actually, I am grabbing an IV with the Senator and the ladies are really just his nurses. I keep telling anyone who will listen that they should be calling them (the IVs) JRs [...]
Watching the World Series and feeling bad for Justin Verlander. I’m not sure why. He’s the best pitcher in baseball, has a butt load of money and Kate Upton is his girlfriend. I guess I just don’t like to see talented people fail. I am his Glenn Close. Luckily, there are plenty of untalented people [...]
