It was a great chat that I had with Tom from the Ramble Redhead Show!  Keep and eye out for when he posts it for you to hear.  Thanks

Yes, I have aids…HEARING AIDS!  I went today to get them fitted and “tweaked” to suit my needs.  I am grateful for the opportunity to improve the hearing that I still have so that I can have clear and effective communication.  I chat about that and other issues on this episode of my podcast.

Some have wondered how to download my episodes.  Well, you will have to download the free iTunes software first and then click on the purple icon found on the top right hand corner of this web page.  It will bring you to the iTunes software that you downloaded.  Click on subscribe once you see iTunes and there you go!  Quite easy…er…uh…once you know how to do it!  If you have any problems, please let me know.  I know how difficult things can be when you are not savvy on the computer.

Thank you for your continued support of my little podcast here.  I appreciate the comments and encouragement.

Your Nashville Friend,

It’s time to celebrate two things:  the Thom Takes On The World podcast and my BIRTHDAY!

TTOTW is now one year old and I am 45 years old.

Thank you for being friends with me and I look forward to many more years together!

Your Nashville Friend,

Celebrating ONE year of podcasting, I give you a little historical background of how I got started doing my podcast.  I then give the mic over to several of my fellow podcasters who sent me some wonderful greetings.  Guess who won the Nashville Coffee Mug for sending me the most innovative and funny file?  It took a long time putting this episode together, but it was a lot of fun as well.  I hope that you will enjoy this one.  It’s been a rough year for me, as you can learn from my episodes thus far, however having you there with me through it all certainly has helped.  Thank you for being my friends who care and who download my episodes.

Keep in touch with my by leaving me your comments or sending me e-mail to: Thom@ThomTakesOnTheWorld.com  I always look forward to hearing from you.  You can also leave me a rating on iTunes if you’d like.  Keep in touch!

Your Nashville Friend,

In this new episode of TTOTW I talk about my blood test results, temperatures in the office, and then watching Extreme Makeover; Home Edition.  I also talk about how “Good Friday” turned out to be a very “Bad Friday” for folks just south of where I live.  So…have I whet your appetite enough?

I also talk about the poll and read a few comments.  Thanks for taking the time to send me these!  It’s good to know that there are folks who like to respond.

I will be celebrating my one year anniversary next month.  If you would like to send me a comment for my anniversary episode, please send it to my e-mail account: Thom@ThomTakesOnTheWorld.com.  If you would like to send a voice comment to my e-mail address, please identify yourself and make the audio file mp3.

Thank you for your continued support.  You are great!  Wow!

Connor, aka PTL Brett, is the winner in this contest…and I think that he knows it.  He has gotten used to living in a house rather quickly.  He always lived at the dog track so understanding stairs, carpet, and windows are all new to him.  He has done quite well.  Jared has taken to him and has showed him our routine like an older brother should.  I have found out that Connor’s father, Brett Lee, is the world’s fastest Greyhound!  Look him up on www.YouTube.com and you will find several videos of just how fast his father was on the track.  I guess that is where Connor gets his need for speed comes from.  Connor was an awesome speedster on the track…winning a great number of races in his career.

Thanks to those 33 folks who voted in the poll.  It was a good poll and I will be posting another one soon.  I will also be creating another episode to my podcast, “Thom Takes On The World”, later on in this week.  There seems to be a larger number of downloads to my little podcast for some reason.  I guess the word is getting out about it.  I guess soon I will not be able to call it  my “little podcast” anymore.  I am hoping to have 1,000 downloads before my one year anniversary (May 26, 2009).  We’ll see if that comes true or not.  I’m not out to reap in numbers, but it is kind of fun to see how many out there are downloading TTOTW.

Well…I guess that I will end it here for now.  I appreciate all of the kind comments and e-mails from everyone.  Feel free to contact me by using my e-mail address: Thom@ThomTakesOnTheWorld.com.  It’s always cool to hear from you.

Keep your eyes and ears open because I’ll be out there!

In this new episode, I talk about going down to Birmingham with Jared to visit Nick Thomas and to go to the Birmingham Race Course to adopt a “brother” for Jared.  I also chat briefly about the Super Bowl and what a game it was!  I hope that you enjoy this episode, though it is a bit longer than normal.  Thank you for the e-mails and comments!  They are appreciated.

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom
