SPI 646: The Computer Story.

Boy, do I have a story for you today.

All I wanted to do over the holidays was to play video games with my son. It's our tradition. But how I reluctantly ended up paying a stranger $125 to spend hours in his home with an overstimulated cat purring at me is just crazy.

This bizarre series of events all started with a PC that broke down on me. But when I reached out to John, a computer repairman on Yelp, is when things started to get downright weird.

You'll have to listen to today's episode to find out exactly what went down. I'll say this — the Yelp reviews didn't warn me about what would happen next.

This is not how I thought I would spend my time off, but there's a lesson here about not giving up and how a nudge in the right direction can completely change things. It's also a great reminder about the power and utility of building your story bank.

Oh, and I did end up playing Fortnite and Overwatch with Keoni. All's well that ends well, right?
