A couple of tales from my days in Rochester, NY, in my post-high school years. First, the story of building a raft with several of the smartest guys I know for the annual raft race. Then, my one act of spontaneity, on the 4th of July.

As a side note, at one point I say that I did something after my freshman year of high school, but I actually meant college. I didn’t have a roommate in high school…

Also, names have been removed to protect the…innocent. Sorry for the annoying reverse-thing. Maybe next time I’ll use dog barks or something.
Do they still have the raft race in Rochester? It was a big annual event back in the late 70s/early 80s, I think sponsored by WCMF, the classic rock station. I can’t find info on it on the web…

Thanks to Henry Herman for the great outro/plug/etc.

I’m trying desperately to tame the voices in my head, or at least recognize them for what they are: a constant, annoying distraction.

To find out more about Eckhart Tolle, I highly recommend listening to Oprah’s interviews with him from her XM radio show, which are available on iTunes as free downloads (collect all three, in audio or video form). Get them here.

Giggling Hudson is back, with the tale of his awesome sister’s tough day earning her yellow belt in karate and making it through a dance recital with grace, all while battling some sort of fever/flu/stomach thing. She is, again, a trooper and an inspiration.

We also discuss velcro karate belts, Obi Wan’s master and much more, all in the sweltering heat of the now air conditioningless Studio G.

Yes, there was a time when I used to actually get parts in TV shows and movies (I almost said “I used to act in TV shows and movies, but I thought that was stretching it a bit). Thanks to the folks at Hulu, here’s an episode of The Pretender I am in from way back in…well, frankly, I don’t remember. All I really remember is that I hung out with Daniel Dae Kim, long before he was one of the stars of Lost. Hell of a nice guy.

I’m in it around 19:35 and 31:42, give or take. Enjoy.

If you don’t remember The Pretender, it’s about a guy who goes around pretending to be other people to avoid being captured by that grouchy chick from JAG. Something like that…
