@simple_online_system Maybe it IS a midlife crisis. Or maybe somewhere along the way our priorities simply change. I still want to earn money. I still want to be useful. I still have ambitions. I just value TIME a lot more than I used to. And increasingly, I want to find ways of earning that give […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mom Was A Badass (July 2007)
I’m not sure I appreciated when I was growing up or even as an adult, how much of a badass and how much of a force my mom was!
Saturday Snap – End of Season Camping Party
Years ago, the people camping in our bay at Nickle Lake would always have a year end pot luck and party. It hasn’t happened since we moved into the park but this year, a couple across from us made it happen. Great fun!
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Garth Brooks in #YXE (June 2016)

The Beautiful Delay: Why Soccer Still Grips The Smartphone-Trained Brain
This essay showed up on my FB timeline from some guy called John Gregory I thought it was pretty insightful so am re-posting… After watching Portugal register just one shot on goal during the Portugal-DR Congo World Cup match the other day, I scratched my head over how soccer can be the world’s most popular […]
