In my office I work with a young kid. Guess he is what’s called the generation Z group. With him I notice something I really have not noticed with millennials and boomers on back.

Time
Lately I have been finding that mentally I feel like I am still in my 30’s with lots of time for life plans. Then I either stop and think about my actual age, or I’m carded, for what seems almost anything now, and it hits me like a ton of bricks. I’m moving along in … Continue reading Time
I’m still here
Sorry I haven’t shared a post recently but to be honest I didn’t feel like there was anything I wanted to share with the world that was important enough for the blog.

Sometimes I think people use career as a way to escape life. Just don’t do it. If you were … Continue reading When you realize you are more than your job.

This time… I do not know if I want things repaired or not. However, I am doing my best to keep my … Continue reading The older we get the more we need our friends.
Funny how…
It’s funny how time works. I remember when I could not say to someone oh that was twenty or thirty years ago. Now I can. I was driving somewhere earlier this week and I was thinking about my recent birthday and the thought hit me. “In eight years you’ll be sixty.” Followed by “in eighteen … Continue reading Funny how…
The Joy of vehicle ownership
Good morning world. It’s been awhile since I have made a post. Presently I am sitting at my car dealership’s service department getting my free oil change. Since my SUV takes synthetic oil, it’s nice not to pay the going rate. Decided to bring the iPad Pro to keep entertained while waiting. I am starting … Continue reading The Joy of vehicle ownership
