The 1000-Word Midlife Crisis

On a long and lonesome highway, north of Atlanta-ha, Dave has time to think about the past week and what his 40th reunion taught him.

On very special Thousand Word Midlife Crisis, Dave comes to terms with who he is and buys beef jerky.

On the night of the actual reunion, Dave is hit with some sobering news and publicly noise shamed.

As Dave takes a tour of his old school and eats some very fried food, he remembers his time served at Davidson but not much else.

After a not-so-brief hiatus, Dave is back to start the trilogy about his 40th high school reunion. Enjoy (one of us should).

Did Dave tell you about his degree from Cambridge? Well, he's going to do it again (and again and again...).

Sometimes things are more obvious to Dave, but then again other times... let's just say he's a work in progress.

So Dave's been retired for about a month. What has he done with his time and why does he need so many naps?

Remember how fun sixth grade was? Me neither. But the good news is that I'm almost over it...

In the return of the Thousand Word podcast, Dave looks back at his working career and wonders if it made any difference.

Join Dave on a Fantastic Voyage to a place that seemed to be less interesting to his doctor when he was younger. 

I remember when my daughter wanted a puppy and then I stole her dream. This is my apology. Kinda.

There should be a rule that parents must watch youth sports by Zoom and never contact their kid's coaches. Until then, sit down, grab a trophy and hear how things went for us.

This week Dave shares his Seven habits for Highly Ineffectual People that have gotten him to where he is today.

This week Dave finally realizes there's a pandemic on, and studies hard for his COVID test.

A fine seven minutes about being a writer, or perhaps more exactly, not being a writer.

Deciding whether to tell the truth or not isn't as easy a decision as it seems, especially in a rental car in Italy. Or maybe it is.

There are many things Dave is not qualified to do, but society lets him do them anyway. In particular, he is somehow a parent. Tune in as he explains how bad an idea that really was.

Come on a journey with Dave as he shops for clothes, eats irregular foods and jogs more miles than Forrest Gump in an effort not to be confused with Kathleen Turner.

A marriage is many things, and Dave's is all of them. Listen to find out why the garage door is open and who did in fact take the dogs out (Spoiler, it was Dave).

As Dave starts his podcast he asks three very important questions (well, the same question three times). Join him as he learns the depressing news that he will not be living to 130 and that his attention span is only slightly better than a goldfish waiting on a phone call.
