Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2025 Edition)
I don’t even know who I am anymore. Today, on the first day of March Madness, I voluntarily scheduled three different meetings for this afternoon. Three. And I never even thought twice about it. The high school student who shared … Continue reading

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2024 Edition)
After a brief moment of glory derived from my championship-winning 2021 bracket, I returned to (poor) form in 2022. In fact, my 2022 bracket was evidently bad enough that I decided not even to post my 2023 bracket. That 2022 … Continue reading

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2022 Edition)
A funny thing happened during last year’s NCAA Tournament. Breaking from my long-established record of futility, as prominently displayed in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, I somehow bounced back from the one-year COVID tournament layoff to . . … Continue reading

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2021 Edition)

Father’s Day (Redux 2020)
It’s Father’s Day again, and continuing with what is now an annual tradition, I’m taking this opportunity to share a Father’s-Day-related storytelling podcast I recorded back in 2016. Happy Father’s Day.

Bill Buckner Never Needed Redemption, But He Got It Anyway
There was a moment a few years ago on Curb Your Enthusiasm that caught me by surprise in a way that I’m not sure any other television show has. The season in question revolved around Larry’s misadventures in New York, … Continue reading
