The Month Of México: January 2026 Recap

Damn Time – can you slow down for a hot second 🙂 ? I’d appreciate it.

Somehow the first month of 2026 is over before I’ve gotten used to writing 2026. I spent the month living up to my new Snowbird status and heading to the sunny beaches of México and escaping the snowstorms of the northeast US.

The Year Of Settling Down(ish): 2025 Goals & Accomplishments

Throughout the year, I like to jot down new things I’ve learned, read, watched and experienced to try and remember what each year entailed. I then summarize all of that in my annual goals and accomplishments posts.

Here’s What Retirees Do All Day! (I Recorded What I Did Every Hour For 5 Years Of Retirement)

I’m back at it 🙂 . Years ago I mentioned that I accidentally recorded everything I did in 1 hour increments for my whole first year of retirement. Originally this was because I was curious to see what I got up to with unlimited time, and later I found it so useful that I just kept doing it. Continue reading “Here’s What Retirees Do All Day!
