Our New Home on the Lake (Rice Lake)
A quick gallery of our new home. More photos when we finish moving in. And then again in spring. And then again in fall.
"Enjoy Your Vacation"
People keep saying that. "Enjoy your vacation." I've stopped correcting them. Sue has already commented on all the work going on while we travel. I wanna talk about this whole "if you're traveling it must be a vacation" mindset. It's wrong.
You Don't Want a Job: Why Self-Employment Reduces Your Risks & Increases Your Rewards

I hope you'll join me on a little virtual book tour throughout the month of August. You'll meet lots of interesting people and just might learn a … Continue reading
