Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 40 Rather than writing about mining for precious metals or minerals versus walking through some landscape laced with explosives, I’m sharing a take on blunders, something most can understand. But more than just making mistakes, I’m writing on the value of mine. Early on, when someone asked me how I…

Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 39 The road ahead had seemed so promising. After casting my blogging line in and out of the online stream, like some sort of cyber fisherman, I’d finally snagged the attention of the home improvement networks in October 2013. Next, we’d managed to record and submit introductory videos I…

Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 38 Clearly, I managed to do some things right, leading to me chatting it up, sledge in hand, on American Rehab Charleston and Restoring Charleston.

Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 34 At the end of 2013, glorious things were popping off in my head. And I should take time to share them. Otherwise, this story will read as if I’m just being overly hard on myself, wallowing too much in hindsight self-pity. Quickly, and by most accounts suddenly in…

Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 33 I stand in awe of people who move on without contingencies in their back pocket. A long time ago, I realized how I must have alternative ways to get me where I need to go if I lose a wheel on my first best option. What some see as…

Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 32 I’ve already written this, I’ll write it again now, and surely say it down the line. I hope my essays in this Response series don’t come across as if I’m making excuses for my own accepted flaws or wrong turns. Rather than seen as justifications, I’d be pleased…

Response to TV Show Viewers: Post 31 Okay. So, I don’t know if network president Kathleen Finch, literally, actually saw my test reel with her own eyes. I wasn’t there and didn’t speak to her myself. I only know what was passed onto me in that moment on the green light phone call in November…
