About ten years ago, I had a vision for a wall that looked a lot like this. Since then, I’ve seen similar walls in man places including as the background on TV shows and in model homes. I like the look as an alternative to a plain wall. A couple of days ago, Lowe’s had…
As someone who spent about three years in college, I am haunted by that period of my life. After college, I spent about ten years in sales when my main focus was on being happy. Nobody wanted to buy anything from anyone if they weren’t nice. Then, after leaving my sales job, I quickly discovered…
I worked with an experienced cartoonist to draw up this idea for a golf brand. As I get older, I’m sure I will be out on the golf course more. I am a big fan of new creative ideas and remember brands like M.R. Ducks being massively popular when I was a kid. The GOAT…
Meta sent me an Oculus Quest II headset a bit ago so I’ve been testing out different uses. While recently considering whether to watch the new Amazon Prime Lord of the Rings series, Elvis and Top Gun, I decided watching on my new headset would make sense. After all, as someone who only received one…
I was just watching a YouTube video overview of philosophy, created by what was likely a student who just read a few text books. But, interesting none the less. The creator said her understanding of philosophy is that is leads thinkers to knowledge and develops critical thinking vs. religion that is more about aligning with…
I’m always up for trying a new food, as long as it won’t likely kill me. Yesterday, I bought a “sour orange” at Giant. Never had one before. I haven’t cut it open yet but apparently it is best use to make “marmalade” or as flavoring for fish, not eaten straight up like a typical…
Got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. Going to court tomorrow. First ticket in forever. Never had an accident in over 600,000 miles driven. Clean driving record. Against my better judgement, I’m not going with an attorney and am just going to plead guilty with an explanation and ask for PBJ citing…
Over the past ten years, I’ve been worried by the sudden appearance of stink bugs and, most recently, the “spotted lantern fly.” Both bugs seem to creep into the most unusual places at unexpected times. Other bugs are quickly dispatched by predators and I barely notice them. Both of these bugs are the exception. I…
This week was interesting for many reasons. First, it feels like Donald Trump may have finally lost his ability to run for president in 2024. It feels as though he was so grossly irresponsible with sensitive government documents that it could not only cost him his political career but likely land him in jail. While…
This morning, I had a short but interesting discussion with someone in a thread on NextDoor. Someone posted a warning about a pregnancy clinic and called the operators “monsters.” I defended the clinic and an individuals right to seek medical advice and help making an intelligent decision about their pregnancy. The other person posted a…
