Vanlife
Five years ago, I put my life on hold and bought a minivan to live in. It was pre-covid and the early days of the vanlife movement – I figured hitting the road for a year on a cross-country trip would allow me to clear my head and process the death of my partner a… Continue reading

My Time Shifting Diet
I have to lose a few pounds for a wedding in August. I guess it’s time to implement my old standby diet or buy a new suit. It’s nothing slick and sophisticated, but if you have 10 pounds to lose, it gets the job done. Just so you know, I am not a dietician, medical… Continue reading

If You’re Not Successful
Ever feel like you’re a failure? Or maybe it’s just that, no matter what you do, you feel as though you come up short. But, consider this: What if you’re just not meant to be successful – at least, in the way you imagine success to be? Maybe your life is meant to be exactly… Continue reading

Could Trump Take Over?
Could Trump destroy democracy and install a fascist government? Surely, the US, a beacon for democracy around the globe and the leader of the free world, would never allow such a thing to happen, right? Undoubtedly, there are safe-guards in place to keep that from gaining a foothold, right? Yes, to an extent, but that… Continue reading

Waste On A Grand Scale
In my last post, I talked about how all our experiences, knowledge, skills, and talents are ultimately wasted once we die. A high achiever will end up in exactly the same place as someone who did nothing with their life. A rich person will have the same fate as a poor person. It’s a shame… Continue reading
