So, we’re finally here. We’ve reached the self-evaluation checkpoint I gave myself when I retired. I try to be very intentional with my decisions and how I spend my time since that’s all we have in this life 🙂 .

Well, 2021 is 2/3 done. Time is meaningless 🙂 . Apparently Starbucks is already prepping Pumpkin Spice Lattes and yet it still looks and feels like summer in the Northeast. Weird. Anyway, let’s see what I got up to in August! Continue reading “The Month Of New York State: Early Retirement Month 11 (August 2021)”
I’m sensing a theme on this blog: and it’s laziness 🙂 . I’ve written several posts on the subject at this point, including:
