Vermont Maple Syrup – 2023!

Vermont Maple Syrup – 2023!

Sweet People, A year ago, I wasn't sure I'd be around. Lisa and I moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family, take desert walks in the sunshine, see every great concert we could, and deal with a serious health challenge. We said goodbye to the farm, and farewell to...

Good News and Gratitude

Good News and Gratitude

As many of you know, 2022 has been a challenging year with lots of changes. During maple syrup season, I kept my health challenges private. Making Maple Syrup in the sugar house and recording the Bob and Zip Podcast were my happy places. At times, I was in bed up to 18 hours a day, being cared for by Lisa

Alan White

Alan White

I first met Alan White in person about 25 years ago. But I first saw him in concert 44 years ago. I had been a Yes fan since high school. I saw them in the round on September 3rd or 4th of 1978 in New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut. Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White & Rick Wakeman.

Two Weeks After Surgery

Two Weeks After Surgery

It’s pretty hard for me to be quiet or sit still. At all. Constant communication and constant motion have been the norm for so long. And even though I’ve just had major surgery I feel guilty. For the people I haven’t had time to thank or reach out to. For missing the podcast and my Saturday radio show with Ed and Zip. For not yet congratulating Spike on his enjoyable performance filling in on KIRO FM with Curley

Bi-Coastal. A New Beginning for Bob and Lisa

Well it’s day five since my surgery. An Ivor Lewis esophageal resection performed by the head of thoracic surgery at Virginia Mason hospital here in Seattle. Esophageal Cancer, stage 3c. If you google this like I did when first diagnosed, you start to think about...

Recovery Ahead

Recovery Ahead

I had a nice chat with Lisa last night and I'm happy to pass on the good news of Bob's procedure and status! Actually, I heard the news from Bob himself, as she played a short voice recording. In essence, Bob said; The procedure went very well... I'm resting...

Gratitude For All Your Kind Words

Gratitude For All Your Kind Words

Lisa and I are in the air as I write this. On an Alaska flight to Seattle from Los Angeles, after spending this week with Keith and Leanne and our granddaughters, Hazel and Georgia. I’m glad I listened to Joe’s advice and shared what’s going on with my health to our...

Always Look on The Bright Side of Life

Always Look on The Bright Side of Life

If you’ve heard the latest Podcast episode, you know I’m taking a medical leave for a few months for health reasons. I’ve had my diagnosis, chemo and radiation, recovery, and surgery prep over the last 4 months. We didn’t talk about it on the show. It gave me something fun and normal to do with my friends

State of Play

State of Play

Greetings from Vermont.  Writing you a short blog tonight instead of our Bob and Zip Show podcast. We will miss our Wednesday episode, returning on Friday. Lisa and I just watched a movie on Netflix. Which is a bit unusual these days, as we typically binge watch...
