Bottom Shelf (MM #4292)
I came to a hard realization recently. I'm not the man I used to be. It came on quickly, or perhaps I didn't notice all of the signs. I don't have the mobility that I used to have. All I was tryi…

You're Invited (MM #4291)
Recently I've noticed that we're getting more mail and email that start with the words, "you're invited." Now it's not like we're getting an invitation to a party or something fun. Usually, these m…

The Mayor (MM #4290)
It was a sad day yesterday here in Nashville. The man dubbed the Mayor of Music Row, Charlie Monk, passed away at age 84. You likely know him if you listened to Willie's Roadhouse or Prime Country …

School Safety (MM #4289)
With all of the school shootings we've had in recent years, it's frequently on my mind. And even though I don't have kids, it's a subject that really bothers me. My wife has been in Indiana for the…

Chocolate Bark (MM #4288)
Many special treats only show up around this time of year. One of my favorites goes by a few different names, but many simply call it chocolate bark. It often combines chocolate and peppermint. Al…

Bean Burritos (MM #4287)
If you've listened to the Mason Minute through the years, you've likely heard me talk about food. I was surprised that I had only mentioned one of my favorite foods, bean burritos, just a couple of …

For The Living (MM #4286)
One of the things I truly dislike about getting older is the number of funerals you attend. I realize that funerals are for the living, and that's what makes it more challenging. I needed to be on …

Holiday Traditions (MM #4285)
The other day in a team meeting, we tackled a team-building exercise. Our topic was holiday traditions. Since we have offices worldwide, it was interesting to hear what some people did for the holi…

Go Inside (MM #4284)
Sometimes, the little things in life bother us much more than our real problems. I don't know why I feel this way, but every time I see the words 'Go Inside For Receipt' on a gas pump display screen…

Outdated Reference (MM #4283)
How old is too old? I'm not talking about people here; this is about pop culture. Yesterday in a meeting one of our managers mentioned an old movie. Some staffers looked puzzled, so the manager ap…

Retiring (MM #4282)

New Headphones (MM #4281)
Even after all my years in radio, I love getting new headphones. These days, I don't need to buy them quite as often, but I'm always looking out for the perfect pair. While I love my AirPods and wi…

Squishmallows (MM #4280)
I do my best to stay up-to-date with pop culture and the latest trends. But sometimes, I find that I'm totally in the dark. Yesterday before a conference call, there was a discussion about the holi…

Simple Science (MM #4279)
It's cold and flu season and doctors are already reporting more cases than we've seen in years. Naturally, the numbers were down the last few years because of COVID-19, but it's still worse than a c…

Discontinued (MM #4278)
Lately, I've noticed a trend in some TV commercials. You know those made-for-TV products that you can't buy in stores; they're warning you that if you don't buy now, you could miss out. They're thr…

Fancy Cookies (MM #4277)
I've admitted this before, but I'm a pretty simple guy. I've enjoyed the finer things in life but love the little things sometimes a bit more. The other day our neighbor dropped off some fancy cook…

Goblin Mode Is Back (MM #4276)
Goblin Mode is back in the news. It's a phrase that's been around for over a decade, but it finally made some noise this year. The Oxford English Dictionary has named it the word of the year. It b…

Price Of Gas (MM #4275)
The election is over, and the price of gas is going down. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so. I've watched fuel prices go up and down for years and noticed a pattern. And this has nothing to d…

Chia Pet (MM #4274)
They've been around for about 40 years and seem to only come out at Christmas time. The holidays are officially here because I saw my first TV commercial of the season for the Chia Pet. And while y…

Dry Skin (MM #4273)
This time of year is rough for me. And this has nothing to do with the holidays. My issues are with the weather and my dry skin. I never did well in the cold, snowy Ohio winters, and while the wea…
