A post for just one person Had someone on Reddit request a few LoveSac photos… and Reddit doesn’t allow for direct photo posting. So I am publishing the photos here and linking. But who knows? Maybe you are interested in deep side pillows too? The Lovesac modular system allows for a lot of creavity… you…

Stories from my prior life in the corporate world and now as a writer
July 24th: One room complete
Crazy days. Vastly underestimated the work required for this move and the creation of our vision of a modern coastal condo. Missed by a long, long ways. As a result, I completely stopped writing till now. No blog, no Medium articles, no book progress. So here we are closing in on 30 days… with one…
June 14th: LoveSac article coming
I am writing an article on Medium about LoveSac, the company and my experience with their products. I was just going to write about their sactionals, but they have made that difficult. After almost a month, the company that claims to be able to ship most of their products in a few days, finally delivered…
June 12th: Help Wanted!
Need a job? It was a bitter cold winter day… at least by St Louis standards. An incredible line of people queued up, hoping against hope to land a job with General Electric. To work remanufacturing huge train locomotive traction motors. Three hundred people in line that day, for two or three jobs. My coworker…
May 24th: Forty Years!
Born To Run 1975… Bruce Springsteen released “Born to Run”. Lori and I met in high school and went on our first date. A year later, I went off to college. “Home Town Honeys” never last. Everyone knew that… but us. A year after graduating from little Coe College, I returned at the end of…
April 16th: TerraTrike, the riding has begun
You can do this! Feel like it is too late for you to ride? We had not cycled for 45 years. Not once since High School. And yet with our new home being built in a large subdivision which The North Bank Trail bisects, we thought… “lets do this!” Visions of short rides east to…
March 28th: Fully Vaccinated
Oh yeah! Fully vaccinated kinda feels like this burger tastes. Comfort food. Filling. Taste laden with umami. It is my favorite simple culinary creation from my “go-to” restaurant. TED’s… which stands for Talk, Eat, Drink. Planning to eat more of these in the near future. Except now, with much more talk… joining the eat and drink….
Jan 13th: After the Burn (Minimalism) / Rebuild Wiser
So far… Yep, the story of this blog… quit my job, sold our house, gave away our possessions and moved to the beach. Extreme decluttering and minimalism. Happily ever after. Is that the end of the journey? Does minimalism become a lifelong obsession? The benefits of minimalism have been fantastic. Ensuing freedoms cannot be overstated….
Jan 6th: The Priestly Blessing
“Live long and prosper.” Does anyone on the planet not know this Vulcan salutation from Star Trek? It even has an official emoji. And the proper response being, “Peace and long life.” But wait! How does one accomplish this? Yes, it is an excellent greeting and reasonable goal, but what is the one, most important…
Dec 29th: Wallet no more
Since I was 15 years old and received my magical driver’s permit, I carried a wallet. Over the years, it grew thicker and thicker. Piled in pictures, credit cards, debit cards, health insurance, library cards… on and on. And then receipts were smashed in until I’d finally empty them out maybe once a month or…
