Unique social film experience

(Update on my radio show): http://doolittlebrothers.com/
Over the past few years, I have made very notable strides in overcoming social anxiety issues and becoming a pretty social individual. Though not a natural thing for me, I am certainly not the same person who just four or five years ago would routinely go days without any social interaction outside of my home.
It was never a major problem, which is a good thing since I now have a live radio show! But I did tend to allow my introverted tendencies to dominate …

Looking forward to the show

The fact that I will be on the radio speaking live about the NBA this Saturday is quite an interesting development.  It feels good, and also feels like the natural culmination of so many paths that inevitably should land at this collective destination. It seems I have two options: waste time being worried about something going wrong, or just go with the flow of the show and have a great time doing what I want to do.
I’ll choose the latter. Ample preparation combined with enthusiasm, good content, interviews and analysis …

The show is official and will begin on Saturday, April 24th from 6pm to 7pm on Team 1380 AM in the St. Louis market. It is the only NBA-themed …

Minor successes can have major impact

Many times when you feel a little stuck in life, it is the simple yet sublime observations and experiences that provide a much-needed boost. I have begun writing again after doing very little productive writing over the past year. A couple of freelance stories and just blogging more has really provided me with a lift. Seems simple, yet I had strayed far from one of my primary interests. As for the sublime, I am really thankful that today’s outing with my little girl to meet my wife for lunch went …

The simple comfort of TV and DVR

I am nearing the relaxation part of my night, and am thrilled. I’m ready to dive into the usually comforting world of television after avoiding it this entire day up to now.
No matter how well the day has gone, it is always very attractive to me to check out the night’s sports before bed. I have maintained this habit for the past 20 years or so, and am not likely to give it up anytime soon. With my multi-TV and DVR setup, I do not miss anything. It is just …
