help-circle







  • Dad had a heart attack last Thursday, so I was up at the parents’ house over the weekend to help out a little. He’s recovering nicely.

    Started going back to therapy earlier this month to deal with the stress from a sudden change at work. Coming to the realization that I may have ADHD or something like that, and wondering if it’s worth the effort to get an official diagnosis.

    Also, need to sit down with a financial planner so I can start taking concrete steps towards my goal of being able to retire early…but have been putting that off due to the aforementioned ADHD.



  • I hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail right after I got out of the Army years ago. Half the people were like me: early 20’s, either taking time off from college or just out of the military and looking for a thing to do before joining the rat race. The other half were 65 and older, retired people who finally had time to indulge their pass times.

    And then there was one dude, mid-40’s, who just shrugged and said, “I was on the highway, about to take the exit ramp to my job and I ended up here instead.”
