I don’t recall ever hearing wiser words spoken by a young actor than these from Ashton Kutcher. Go ahead, watch the video, I’ll wait.

It was like old times and we shared some great conversation while acknowledging warm greetings from the … Continue reading →

I faithfully follow several bloggers who are full timers. In RV lingo, that means they live in their RVs full time and have no permanent home; i.e., no utility bills, no lot or apartment rent, no property taxes, no flooded basements, no 3000 square feet to keep clean, and no lawn to mow or driveway to shovel. Some work full … Continue reading →
