    Tilting at Windmills, S3, Ep 158: For Benjamin Gorman's birthday ... a parade?

    On this episode, it’s Benjamin Gorman’s birthday. Unlike the US where January 6ths reminds us all of an attempted violent overthrow of the government, in Spain it’s Dia de Reyes. There’s a big parade … on the fifth. And most of the restaurants are closed. But, on the plus side, Benjamin finds a place with one last can of Mtn. Dew!

    Tilting at Windmills, S3, Ep. 156: A Poem with More Question Marks than Periods

    On this episode, Benjamin Gorman takes you to the dog park, shares a poem, then compares it to the lack of concrete answers many of us feel in a world where the criminals are in charge of enforcing the law. Find Benjamin Gorman here: https://linktr.ee/benjamingorman Here’s the text of the poem: How Does a Dog by Benjamin Gorman How does a dog interpret “I’m going to miss you” through the veil of new vocabulary and incomprehensible tense? Does it sound like “I love you” or “I’m sad” or “You’ve been bad” or just “I’m giving you attention now and that’s enough”? and is it really that different for anyone else?
