It’s Time to Indulge!
Reading Time: 4 minutesWe spend most of our lives doing what we should do whether it’s what we want to do or not.

What a Circus!
Reading Time: 5 minutesI don’t know what it is about retirement. Maybe my mind is not cluttered anymore with all the things I need to think about and retain now that I’m not committed to a paying job for most of my waking hours. Or maybe it’s just that, like the old joke about how… Read more

A Sunny Place for Shady People
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI drove past a quaint little adult beverage establishment in Englewood a few months ago. The bar, called Will’s Honkytonk, had a slogan on their sign that I loved and has stuck with me. It says “A shady place for sunny people.” Clever and delightful. We learned that Will’s is a… Read more
