I was used to buying old cars and driving them until the cost of service far exceeded the value of the car altogether. This worked nice for me when I had a nextdoor buddy who was willing to do our mechanical work for a bargain compared to auto mechanic shops. But when he moved to […]

Now that I’m working from lake house and getting all of our grocery orders delivered, I am getting too comfortable with being homebound. I make excuses to avoid going out, even if it’s to run a check to the bank or to hit a store that doesn’t offer lake house delivery services. I’ll admit, it’s […]

I never understood the importance of a hair net when I first started working as a dishwasher in high college.

When I was younger, I loved the changing seasons much more than I do now. I embraced the cold Fall breezes when they’d cap the final summer time afternoons in mid September every year. I relished the first snowfall, even when it left myself and others shivering at my bus stop in the early day […]

Despite living in a large city with a lot of options for shopping and businesses, I’m not impressed so far after moving out of the countryside. Just because I am closer to society and have to drive less, it doesn’t mean I am happier or more pleased. On the contrary, I recognize claustrophobic some afternoons […]
