You might know David Senoff from the comments section of this site. David is a daredevil. He has a real job, which is something like doctor, lawyer or bodyguard, but more importantly, David has done numerous tours in the East Coast Summer Wars. This means he knows how to operate in a peach golf shirt with the collar up, too short khaki short shorts and highly polished loafers. I don’t care what anyone says, the East Coast in the summer will take you to the danger zone Kenny Loggins. David asked if I would sit for a talk, and I did.

DM- Thank you very much for sitting for the interview and for this post. BTW, you entered your “guru phase” years ago, you’re just to humble to say so! Thanks again and looking forward to a new episode of FWIW podcast. (Just so you know, I do not own any pairs of loafers. Peach polo shirts…I have no comment)!

Ha, yes. I know. It didn’t fit the design, and I only had a few moments to make this thing.
DM – Boat shoes? No. Please. Nikes or flip-flops. Remember I go to Block Island not the Cape, the Vineyard, Nantucket or Maine … Plus I grew up going to the “shore” in New Jersey…just sayin…

Nicely done! I edited some travel photos while listening- doubly productive.

That’s a good habit.
Jury duty: Tell them, if it’s the truth, you don’t drive, do they want to pay for a taxi, and you’re deaf, do they do closed caption? Dismissed for life. I actually wanted to do jury duty, and I really don’t drive, and I really can’t hear out of one ear. My favorite reading is court transcripts.
