It's been a Blast hearing you grow your talent stacks into multimedia machines. We're all more awake now hearing your voices. I'll find a quarter-a-day somewhere. . .🛋️

Hey Dowd, I will miss listening to you on KIVA! You are awesome and definitely deserve a major platform. Seriously. I've listened to talk radio from all over the country, read countless articles from dozens of papers/websites, and your commentary, analysis, and writing is among the best. I am glad this platform exists and I look forward to your future work.

SO very proud of my little Bro! When you turn fifty, it’s really time to make the decision to remove all the many things from your life that aren’t workin’ for ya (to quote Dr. Phil) and concentrate on the people and causes in which you have faith and belief. Put me down as your first Founder!

Maybe I can do some guest columns for you? My specialty subjects are 17th century raised ecclesiastical embroidery, gardening successfully in cold wet Scotland, and making travel in this day and age fun, easy, and economical (well, except when we are in Vegas...).

Remember your Epictetus: No great thing is created suddenly.

(Of course, he didn’t have access to Substack).

Sorry, but an ABQ-area Merchant of Death beat you to it. You're Founder No. 2. Gotta wake up pretty early in the morning to get the jump on a military man. That's one of over 1,000 reasons why I could never hack it in "the service."

Something tells me your subjects are of far more interest than libertarian public-policy analysis. Look forward to reading your Stack. You can set one up in less than five minutes....

Done and done — and a while ago at that.

The Buttonwood Graduate.

However, I’ve written but one thing since. Looking after a high octane Cavapoo (when awake) and high maintenance Scotsman (ditto) is a full time occupation, y’know….

So I need to cancel the Rock of Talk Subscription then and sign up for yours?

You are free to do whatever you want. I fight the Nanny State, I'm not a functionary of the Nanny State. Subscribe to one, the other, both, or neither -- not my call! I think I'll be providing a quality product, though, so give me a fair shake. No Dowd About It will not have a New Mexico focus/connection, but it's looking like I will be involved, somehow, in an exciting new project that does.

Thanks for all your support/feedback/comments on the old site!
