HAPPY NEW YEAR, FELLOW LISTENERS!  We are officially in 2023, damn it. Start off this new chapter in your lives by tuning your ears to catch the newest episode of the pod returning after a three-week absence due to yours truly being stricken with Type A flu.  This rapidly recorded convo was captured on my phone's voice memo app in which me and my folks recap the highs and lows of 2022 and what lies in store for the next 365 days. Also, jam out to the new year with me honoring the 50th anniversary (released January 5, 1973) of the release of the debut albums of rock legends Aerosmith (self-titled) and Bruce Springsteen ("Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.") and my rendition of Foo Fighters hit "Everlong" (Note: My voice may sound like I have marbles in my mouth because I was brushing my teeth in the middle of recording).
