Weekdays 2pm-7pm
I live in Saratoga Springs with my incredible and UNDERSTANDING wife Amy and the two centers of our universe, our daughters Alexa and Carys. Besides bacon I like a good single malt, music of all types from AC/DC to Yanni, soccer, the Red Sox, the Steelers and long walks on the beach with a......nevermind.

I hope you'll tune each weekday from 2-7pm as we navigate the end of the workday, school day, housework day together. I'll try and add in a little humor, a thought or two to ponder, some sweet FREE STUFF and some great music!
