I'm in my 60's and finally feel comfortable about myself, what I've accomplished, and where I'm headed. I'm relieved I have an outlet for a release of my own pent-up thoughts. All my life, thoughts have circled in my head with no direction of what to do with them. This space gives me a place to park them and move on.
  • Coronavirus Blues

    This virus has America singing the blues for sure. Very few, if any, have had their lives uninterrupted or challenged life as normal for more than a year now. We had a blundering idiot president that didn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground trying to make decisions that were and still are…

  • In My Lifetime I Never…

    In my lifetime I never, ever, imagined that the United States would more resemble a third world country itching for civil war than the democracy touting country we all love. On January 6th, while Congress was discharging their duty of the electoral vote certification and declaration of the president and vice-president of the United States,…

  • Lazing Away A Day

    Most days, I don’t find the time to truly kickback and relax. Every morning I promise myself that I will set aside time to read, but my reading usually consists of snippets of news information from either investment sites or from emails from the local news rag. I spend about 5 minutes everyday looking at…

  • Antivaxxers and Anti-Maskers

    Talking about mumbling under your breath, this whole antivaxxer and anti-mask wearing thing has gotten out of hand. The claim is it infringes on their civil liberties and their God given rights.

  • I Had an Idea

    I was in the shower the other day and had a, what I thought to be brilliant, idea. We have a property that is being given to Jen and I as a result of us covering costs for funerals for Mom and Dad. It was my dad’s idea and although some might look at us…

  • Down the Rabbit Hole

    There are so many things we find ourselves chasing to improve our style of life, reward ourselves for hard work, some to show off, or for some the need for someone to look at what you’ve accomplished. The last two go along with my favorite book “The Millionaire Next Door”. In it there is the…

  • Work Ethic, Do You Have It?

    I’ve been thinking a lot about ethics. I watch daily the catastrophe in politics both Nationally and Statewide. I’m so disappointed in the lack of ethics by those that are supposed to be the ones setting examples. These are also many of the people deciding what the quality of life will be for many under…

  • My Daily Coffee Break

    My daily coffee break is the first thing that happens every morning. I know, you’re saying your day always begins with coffee too, but the difference is that I break for everything to spend it with my dad. I don’t think many of you can say that and I certainly never envisioned that I would…
