Contrary to public opinion, I think the Bachelor and the Bachelorette are important shows. Seriously? You ask. This post started because my friend Kate Murray shared her thoughts on the show. She said: Last night I watched the Bachelorette. I never watch the Bachelorette. I don’t know what got into me, but I sat on …
Downsizing
So I’ve been away a while. But there’s a reason. I’ve been downsizing my life. Over the last several years my wife and I have been looking at the cost of “big”. I have lived in a big house (3300 sq ft). There are some days I wanted to chop off the top of my …

Consumerism
