I&#8217;ve been at the mic maybe once a quarter and I think I am getting better at it. It&#8217;s hard, it&#8217;s just you and the mic, no notes, but as the guy who moderates this event always says, &#8220;It&#8217;s your story, you know what happened, plus, if you forget something, no one knows. Keep going.&#8221; <br \/><br \/>There are themes; you&#8217;re not required to adhere to them but I like to try. The theme for this round was love. Naturally, I told a story about Harley the Dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FGS-Love-lost-or-found-Pam-10-15-2026.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was recorded at Fresh Ground Stories at the Swedish Club. It&#8217;s once a month. You should come. It&#8217;s free and it&#8217;s a refreshingly human way to spend an evening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another live story, this one about a dog who knows the way home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":14639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[782,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-harley-the-dog","category-seattle","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14839"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14843,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14839\/revisions\/14843"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
