If we’re being honest with each other, I would have preferred not to be reminded, but I’ve had little control over this scenario.For instance, I was driving down I-30 through the Downtown Dallas canyon this afternoon. Another driver spotted the WBAP car, said…

A couple of weeks ago, after WBAP’s poor judgment in sticking with me despite a ridiculously long amount of time, I returned to work. It feels amazing to return to my “normal life.” Except I can’t walk properly right now because I have what a friend accurately, I feel, described as a superhuman ability to grow bones and…
