Nick, talk to us about your favorite woodworking tools, both hand and power. In which situation do you use either? Where do you draw the line between hand made/shop made and mass production.
Your delightful and illuminating comments on the incomparable Andrew Leman brought me here, but I am happy to say I'm stickin around thanks to all your other thoughtful, humorous and even wise words. I'm looking forward to what is to come.
You’ve shared your humble upbringing and how important it is to take care of the land and how to farm it. If you didn’t choose to grace us with going down the path of stardom in being an actor, would you have stayed in Illinois and became a farmer?
I had no idea you did any LARPing and RPGs! This essay really touched me, I played Rpgs for so many years and have so many fond memories with the sweaty crew. Thank you for bringing back such lovely memories.
I read Adam Savages book "Every Tools a Hammer" and was delighted to see you in there!
Your post on LARPing makes me ask:
How did your collaboration come about with the famous prop builder and cosplayer?
Great listen after clearing snow for 3 hours. The presence of snow might be Nature's way of encouraging one to work, play, and relax in a balanced sort of way. It's amazing, the wondrous structure of the tiny flake, and it's, potential, massive accumulation in amounts that can be life altering.
Ah, the memories. I started with Zork as well, and it didn't stop me from writing books, either. Every once in a while I find myself in a maze of twisty passages, all alike, creatively, but I always find my way out. I enjoyed Gumption and Paddle and I've got Antelope on deck. LARPery didn't hinder your creativity much. Perhaps it helped hone it.
Hey Nick, just wondering if you have any advice for a first time Dad. My beautiful son is asleep in my beautiful wife’s lap and the only noise is the rocking of her chair as we laze about on a rainy Maine morning. Not sure where I was going with that, but I liked the imagery of the sentence.

Nick, given the state of the world, and especially the division we face here in the USA, how do you hold on to optimism for America's future?

So good! :)

This was a great listen on a snowy day in Colorado. Cheers Nick!

But if course you are a fan of TMBG! I knew I respected you for multitudinous reasons!
Memo to myself. Do the dumb things I gotta do. Touch the puppet head.
