Episode 94: "You’re Someone’s Bar Stool Now!"
What happens when a man who's spent his whole life dodging expectations finally… sticks around? In this episode, we meet Ernest “Skip” Wilson—ex-adventurer, ex-romantic, and full-time Keys philosopher with a caffeine addiction and a rusted mailbox full of stories. From fishing scams and love lost, to the kind of porchside wisdom you can only earn after three decades of sunburn and bad decisions, Skip serves up laughs, longing, and a few lessons that sting just the right amount. Come for the seashell wind chimes and Slim Jim economics—stay for the moment a busted old mailbox becomes a badge of belonging. This one’s not just a goodbye. It’s a barstool-level promotion.
We retell ife's stories that helped us become who we are now. The stories can be quite funny, ironic, as well as painful. The human spirit fights to succeed, while at the same time, we try our best to keep adding day to day value to our lives. When we take that story-step backward, we often rediscover the humor, love and sometimes we even find needed closure we once overlooked. There is more to life than the day to day. Life passes by quickly & sometimes it’s hard to let the past go. So, with humor and optimism we present this podcast.
