Some conversations are so much fun you’re glad they’re being recorded.
That’s how I felt talking with Jeremy Gonzalez and Sheila Hagar on their gem of an audio series, “Almost Your Mother.”
They’re colleagues at the Walla Walla Union Bulletin, where Sheila writes the blog, From the Storage Room and has had her columns published in a collection called, Can I Just Say Something?
They call the series, “Almost Your Mother” because Sheila has a son named Jeremy (but not this Jeremy), and Jeremy’s mother’s name is Sheila (but not this Sheila).
It’s very funny. And I was honored to be invited on.
It’s Episode #26: Bossy Bosserson. (Which cracks me up right there.) Technically, the subject was Sheila’s kitchen renovation: Ikea cabinets and her proposed neutral-on-neutral color palette. But there was a little detour to American Idol land, which was fun.
Give it a listen, will you? I guarantee a minimum of 7-12 chuckles and at least 1 laugh-out-loud. (Plus you can make fun of my ovverrrr eeennnnnunssseeeeeattingggg, especially at the beginning.)
Thanks, Jeremy and Sheila! So much fun. Next time – if you’ll give me a next time – I promise to speak more like a human being, and less like, well, less like I usually do.
