Embrace the cliches
By Tony RussoNovember 11, 20162 min read
Owning it was important to me because, working in Ocean City, I've developed a new appreciation for cliches. You can't pretend to have fun with abandon and still maintain a sense of how you look to other people. It's something I'm learning to worry about less. I was thinking about the particularly as I was freshening up our "Winterfest of Lights" page. There is no way to look traditionally cool and also enjoy the spectacle. You can't enjoy a candy cane ironically, so just give in to it. That's what I learned at last year's Winterfest and what I'll likely take with me this year.
Winterfest was only a small part of this week's podcast. We actually had a guest, Don Singleton, who was a teenage spy (kinda) and has written a couple of books. He talks about his adventures on land and sea. Todd talks about all of the closing parties he's been attending as we wind down the season and begin preparing for the slog into winter. We're all finding ways to keep busy and we'll let you know what they are every week.
The Happy Hour Todcast is recorded weekly at the Pit Stop in Berlin. You can subscribe to the podcast below or listen here.
