I'm interested in just about everything. If you say it's a good book, I'll put it on the list.

This is one of my favourite books. I listened to the audiobook of this one to be quite frank. I used to listen to books a lot when I had my business because I travelled in the work van from site to site pretty much all day. So books and podcasts were my thing.

Yup, that's pretty much my life. I just listen to whatever is interesting. I'm never really tied to a genre, I figure good is good whatever it is.

I don't miss spending 5 or 6 hours of my day driving around the city and being annoyed by traffic, construction etc etc but it was good focus time to learn. We had one contract that was 3 hours outside of the city. I only went there once a quarter but I used to love it. No traffic, can take calls but can't drop everything to deal with a shit storm somewhere because I am in the middle of nowhere and just listen to a book or pods all the way and back. Was like a mini vacation for me. Haha

The best thing about my route is that it's about an hour north of Milwaukee. So after I get out of the city area, it's pretty chill. That's why I have time to listen to the stacker sports parents corner featuring the mosquito league.

Haha. After we finished recording and we were waiting for the pod to download I looked up the classifications of leagues and I was right they are still called rookie ball and mosquito.

You could have just asked me. I pretty much know all of the sports facts. I take the title of "resident sportsologist" very seriously.
