Social Media Marketing I’ve always said that I wish my Twitter stats could be my blog page view stats. Well, unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. If you’re reading this, you’re probably curious about figuring out “what works and what doesn’t”. I might actually make this a regular feature of my blog to […]
What a long strange trip it’s been I’ve had this blog, in one form or another for 4 years this coming Fall. FOUR YEARS people!! Frankly, it hasn’t been a wild success. I’m not saying I haven’t had my moments, but I do think I’ve reached a turning point recently, regarding effort. A big part […]
I know it’s morbid… It’s not the easiest topic to discuss, especially during times like this, but this also relates to how a realization like that can change your relationship with money.

This is just going to be a quick, benchmark post that summarizes my year end stats. With over 6,000 page views and roughly 3,000 visitors, it wasn’t exactly a stellar year. However, the year ended with some momentum and I did double my traffic from the previous year. I’d estimate that about 10% of that […]
Life’s full of potholes Let me preface this post with the disclosure that this coming April I will have been married to my wife for 29 years! Yay for that! It’s truly something to celebrate. So, I’ve been doing this “holiday” travel thing for quite a number of years. However, visiting her blended extended family […]
Fitness after 50 This post is meant to feature some of the core topics I’d like to focus on within this blog. The main items of Finance, Food and Fitness, will eventually be referenced on my “about me” page. These posts are meant to be a “Starting point” for readers and visitors. It’s always an […]
How our dietary needs change after a certain age Let’s face it, our metabolism slows down dramatically as we age. That leaves us with a couple of choices. Change what we eat and/or reduce the amount we eat. Secondly we need to increase our exercise a bit. I never did that. I always tempted the […]
