Wildfire season is upon us and while we're OK, some friends are not so fortunate.

Some people prefer to stay in the background, completely avoiding attention and limelight.

Sometimes it seems like people perceive the same thing so differently they could be in a different universe!

In which we learn that not all "fresh" sushi is created equal...

Today was a "step away from the electronic devices" sort of day, and I feel much better for it!

In recent years I have embraced the philosophy of "not giving a damn" in most situations.

What makes you want to DO something? Money? Some other reward? Status? Power? Influence?

I'm often confounded by the levels of strangeness people believe to be true, while obvious stuff is ignored.

Entertainment seems to be playing to an ever lower common denominator... what gives?

Definitions and labels can definitely be useful, but they are not our whole identity!

Wildfire season has started, and much of what we look at is seen through a "brown filter"

As Social Security crumbles and pension funds are on ever shakier ground, retirement is less and less of a given...

The advertising I see while surfing the web seems to be getting dumber and dumber all the time!

I'm fed up and tired with "improved" products that just have a bunch of totally useless features added!

While there are lots of books and seminars about "life purpose" I often wonder whether it's even a THING...

There's more to life than just working... but if you were taught that work IS you, it's hard to move beyond!

If you have ADHD and feel stuck, "doing nothing" may be more effective than "trying harder."

Although we are often reminded of life's EXTREME outcomes, the vast majority of existence lives in the middle.

Most marketing promises you access to some "secret," but what if there IS no secret??

Whenever I need to get away from screens, I often find yardwork to be the most cathartic!
