Musings From the Mind Of Kevin Mason; a retired radio guy who just won’t give up the microphone.

The Mason Minute

It may be the weekend before Christmas, but we've decided to stay put. Our Christmas shopping is done, but we have a few items we could pick up at the store. But the crowds are so crazy right now. Our malls are in high-traffic areas, and when holiday shoppers panic, the roads come to a standstill. We live near one of the malls, and that means traffic is heavily congested all day and into the night. I've never been the biggest fan of crowds, but I used to be able to deal with them. But things have changed. I've changed, and everyone else has too. Just a few more days and things will be back to normal...

It may be the weekend before Christmas, but we’ve decided to stay put. Our Christmas shopping is done, but we have a few items we could pick up at the store. But the crowds are so crazy right now. Our malls are in high-traffic areas, and when holiday shoppers panic, the roads come to a standstill. We live near one of the malls, and that means traffic is heavily congested all day and into the night. I’ve never been the biggest fan of crowds, but I used to be able to deal with them. But things have changed. I’ve changed, and everyone else has too. Just a few more days and things will be back to normal…

Kevin Mason's Daily 60 Second Podcast

Daily musings from the mind of Kevin Mason; a retired radio guy who just won't give up the microphone.  Looking for an idea of what the podcast sounds like?  Think Andy Rooney meets Paul Harvey..... with better eyebrows and less talent!
