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
Been a little busy last two days. As I type this, I am staring into Siri's eyes. Or eye. I wouldn't have given that a thought, if not for the story circulating today that the Chinese Government is using facial recognition technology to troll for fugitives at pop...
I've spent most of a lifetime pretty useless at basic handyman skills. If oil needed changing, a room needed painting, or a household item needed a repair, I was lucky enough that I could hire someone to take care of it. Time was an important factor. But it wasn't...
Every performer you watch is there for two primary reasons. To express themselves, and to hold your attention. Whether it's a band, a juggler, or a teacher speaking to a class, the only way to measure performance is to multiply the numbers, and the quantity of time...
Lisa and I watch the hit show Billions, on Showtime. Sometimes you learn a lot about the human condition through fictional characters. Axe Capital, run by Hedge Fund tycoon Bobby Axelrod, confirms every negative stereotype you might have about the uber rich. US...
I was born there. In Honolulu, 1956. I have the Kenyan birth certificate to prove it. I didn't return until we were living in Seattle, and I was about 35. It's an amazing place. Hard to believe it is part of the United States, really. Until you read history. Hawaii...
I was mentioned on his show today. I got a text from my brother Richard: "Howard Stern mentioned you a bunch this morning." Huh. Hope he ripped on me. "Not really. Talking about Hall of Fame thing." Thx. I'll have to get a clip of that. "He rips on the National Radio...
As referenced in Bob's post: https://bobrivers.blog/howard-stern/ Howard Stern talks about Bob Rivers as a 2018 National Radio Hall of Fame nominee Radio Host from age 14 to Present. Currently blogging, planning to launch a new radio show later this...
I can't tell you the last time I watched a TV commercial. Maybe it was the Super Bowl. Lisa and I binge on Netflix, Amazon, Showtime or HBO. No commercials there. And there's a virtual buffet of great programs. We will never catch up. Even though Comcast is our cable...
If fake news were an actual thing, instead of a political cliche, I'd doubt the story I read today in the Wall Street Journal. I used to subscribe, but I canceled because it was just too expensive - and the Washington Post and New York Times have adjusted their...
Lisa and I went to see this movie tonight. It's hard for us to agree on a motion picture these days. She doesn't like the 3 S's. Sequels, Superheroes, Spaceships. And the more a movie is hyped, the more skeptical we both become. That rules out about half of what's in...
