I hate exercise for the sake of exercise. No, I am not lazy and I have no qualms about expending the same level of energy in more productive or entertaining ways. It is just that exercising, for the sake of exercising, is incredibly boring and offers no short term gratification. […]
I want to change, I try to change, but with so many years of life’s momentum, I just keep missing the on ramps. For the sake of a brand new year, I decided I would attempt an infusion of singers/groups under the individual or average age of sixty into my […]
I’ve kept most of my old game consoles. Sometimes at the end of an… interesting day, I’ll break out a game featuring Sonic or Mario, play and relax. My PlaySation 4 has been accumulating dust.

It’s been four weeks since attempting a new article. I know, “Joe, we didn’t realize you were gone”. Yeah, yeah, yeah… The problem is I am easily distracted under the best circumstances. I start writing about a gun stock and end up researching “Walnut Through The Ages” and, at the […]
