BORN TO BE MILD PART II: Head Out on the Highway

from Boomer Monologues · host Thomas Lyford

BORN TO BE MILD PART II: "Head Out on the Highway" (or Zen and the Art of Motorcyclist Wannabeism) continues the saga of a dyed-in-the-wool Walter Mitty-ish man’s relationship with both the stark reality of sheer testosterone  daredeviltry and the dream-world  of a lurid imagination.  Will Tom end up being hit by the... "screamin' deisel that was California bound," a la the song, "Black Denim Trousers"? Succumb to the fate of "The Leader of the Pack"? Or continue on through life as the boring, mild-mannered poet/armchair hobbyist?

Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio Avi ben Mordechai ABOUT ME and THIS PODCAST: I am Avinoam ("Avi") ben Mordechai. I am an old veteran of the radio broadcast industry. For me, radio programming was very different when I started in the early 1970s as a California "rock jock" radio personality and later in the 1980s as a Colorado radio programmer and secular and religious content talk show host. I selectively do live on-air radio programming where I find opportunity, but ultimately, whatever I pursue with my years of radio broadcast training is not formal. I seek to serve Yehovah with the gifts and talents that He has given to me. Today, I am passionate about teaching the Bible in an understandable way to modern readers of ancient Scripture. The biblical studies I engage in through my teaching monologues and, in some cases, interviews with knowledgable academic researchers, are, at the very core, Hebraic studies, as I seek to connect the dots, so to speak, between the biblical Hebrew Bible and the Brit Hadasha (the New Covenant
