Like most of my fellow Gen X parents, I once had a mind full of skeptical angst and a working knowledge of books, culture, and current events. Now I know what Lava Chicken is. I did not choose this life. The kids chose it for me.

Tuberville has cracked the code and I'm glad to see the entire MAGA party following along. It's time to get focused on the real issues that matter to voters. It's a bold political strategy with zero problems.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill and you have to hear something boring about the Straights of Hormuz. You take the red pill and I show you how deep the gravy hole goes. Choose wisely, America.

I spent days at the Nelson-Atkins learning to waltz with my daughter so she could walk the same path my mother walked in 1959 while her own mother sat in a wheelchair. Then I found the two curtsey photos side by side. #nelsonadkinsmuseum #KCSymphony joeathon.substack.com/p/the-curtse...

Why is the song from my home of Missouri so bad? Kansas has "Home on the Range", while "The MO Waltz", just codified in 1949, is a racist relic of the minstrelsy. I was born and raised in MO. I wrote this for those who could never come back. Please like/share THX! soundcloud.com/joe-athon/my...
