The Mountain

Even Fridays @1pm

Hello friends.

Consider this an experiment in old style storytelling – the rollicking meandering tale told to a small circle that have gathered around, or perhaps that slow voice intended to lull a tired person into a comforting sleep.

Over the course of many episodes I’ll  be  telling you a story—a long and perhaps really weird story —  that doesn’t really fit into any genre.

It’s about a long walk I took decades ago and about the things that were encountered along the way.

It’s about San Diego and the neighborhoods of Mission Hills and Golden Hills in the 1990s. And about life and death and all manner of travails. It’s about the AIDS epidemic. And the Spanish Entrada into North America. And the Middle Ages. And dogs and Lewis and Clark and a Coke machine. And about some paintings and some statues and a small chapel in Southern California.

It’s also about some god stuff, along with other things that are not suitable for the ears of Ladies and Children, and so I’m guaranteed to offend at least some, if not all.

It’s about America. Consider it a meditation on faith and death.

Some episodes, of course, will be a complete miss — this is a high wire act so there may be some pretty spectacular falls. It may very well please both narcoleptics and insomniacs alike.  And, of course, all good bed time stories include music. so you’ll get plenty of that as well.

Thank you for your patience and I hope that the stumbles add to the charm. ChatGPT, after all, never makes mistakes.
