Good morning and good coffee everybody! What do earworms, Moonshadows, and guidelines for life have in common? The answer is that I was drinking Lipton tea while talking about all three this morning. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee everybody! Well for some reason in today’s episode I wandered into the area of flavors and that’s where I spent the episode rather than what I intended to talk about. But you know what flavors are a great topic whether it is from tea, spices, herbs, or other natural sources. So join with me and wander around my mind and my taste buds as I share some thoughts and experiences I’ve had with natural flavors. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee! Last night my wife and I did something a little different. We decided to go to an open mic night at a local pub. I love live music, especially local music, so on today’s podcast I want to share with you why. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Have you ever met a political big-wig?  Most if not all have met those in local politics, but what about at the State or National level.  I've had the opportunity to see (not meet) three Presidents and walked in a parade beside a Governor, but now it is taking on a much more personal level (no I'm not running for anything), but a man I call a friend is running for office, and that is pretty cool!  Grab your coffee and let's have some fun on the fringe of politics. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  I'm sure many of you have heard that a new mission to Mars has successfully landed on the Red Planet.  We've had previous missions to Mars taking pictures, testing the soil, and making tracks in the dirt, but what will they find that is different this time?  Well, according to photos that have come through my Facebook feed, it appears that there may be evidence of life or humor millions of miles from Earth! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Baby it is still cold outside, and in locations that don't get it this cold except once in a lifetime.  This morning I whine a little bit about the bitter cold this week, but share a learning experience that includes extremely cold temperatures, a power outage, an overloaded generator, a creative electrician, and a new contingency plan.  We need to plan for what is on the edge of normal experiences, and we need to get creative for dealing with the unanticipated. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Oh Baby, it cold and snowy outside!!!  What an adventures yesterday with cold temps, blowing snow, poor visibility while driving, frozen pipes, hunkered down animals, crazy ducks, and 3 foot snow drifts!  Grab some HOT coffee today, because it is STILL COLD OUTSIDE!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee! Today I am joined by my lovely wife, Dawn, and we share our memories of her Valentine’s Day dinner last night, which happened to be a 12-course meal prepared by yours truly. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee!  Over the years I have had a growing interest in learning and preserving history; however, this morning I had a personal taste of cancel culture, and I thought I would tell you a bit about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today I want to share with you something that I taught about in a recent therapy session.  This individual frequently had undesired fights with their spouse and found himself avoiding conversations to keep the peace.  What I taught him and today I share with you is to determine which of three goals a couple has in mind when starting a risky conversation: expressing anger, better understanding each other, or finding the solution to a problem.  If you have this kind of problem with your spouse, this would be a good podcast to listen to with your spouse, just don't blame me if you get into a fight, ok? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today I want to ytalk about polar opposites: Friends and Enemies.  Let's have some fun talking about our friends and Facebook friends and how we get them.  Then I want to share briefly about our new enemy and the war we are entering into on the Quicksall Farmstead. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today is an important podcast, because I am talking about your children or grandchildren who are young.  Are they learning what you take for granted?  Are they even close to seeing the world as you see it?  What do we need to do about it, or are we trapped by the monster as well? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  This morning is a bit of a sad show as I share with you our grief over the loss of our wonderful livestock guardian dog, Max (Maxine), who died yesterday due to her injuries defending her goat herd from a pack of coyotes.  Join with me in paying tribute with a few stories about this very devoted guardian. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  I love adventures, both big and small, and I hope that you do as well.  Today I share with you a website I just discovered called the Historical Marker Database at http://hmdb.org.  This site allow you to find numerous historical markers by name, topic, and location.  See what is in your general area and plan a Sunday afternoon drive to see what others deemed important enough to enshrine it in a marker.  Have an adventure and learn a little history at the same time! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today I want to talk about releasing your creativity as inspired by an article in this month's Illinois Country Living magazine.  To me creativity is a life-blood for healthy living, and if it is not allowed to flow, then a part of us goes into decline and can die.  So grab your coffee, let your creativity flow, and let's have some great conversation! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  A funny thing happened to the market this past week that reminded me of a fantastic lesson by Mr. Donaldson, my American History teacher during my junior year in high school.  The crash of 1929 had a lot to do with buying on margin, and this week something happened to hedge funds playing with some matches called short selling.  How did they get burned at their own game?  Enter Reddit and the power of social media.  Confused?  Let me explain.  Get your coffee! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  How many of you have played or remember Buzzword Bingo?  On today's podcast I share with you this fun game, some of my memories, and a few of the new and old buzzwords from corporate America as we usher in the weekend. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Meander means to wander around aimlessly.  Well, on today's podcast I do a good bit of meandering on the topic of names and never quite get to my intended topic, but you know what - that's OK, because it was a fun little walk with you this morning! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee!  I HOPE that you are having a great day, and I HOPE bad things don't happen to you.  Can you see the difference between the first HOPE and the second HOPE in this sentence?  Did you know that over time this subtle difference have have a profound impact on your life?  Let's talk about that on today's podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message
