Yep. Finally. Gonna do it this time. That Great North American Baseball Road Trip I drove back in 2015, I’m going to write the whole blamed thing up at last. Following is how I will tackle writing on the road once traveled. What exactly is #GNABRT? As a refresher (and for you newbies), when I… Read more »
Nah, I’m not gonna make you look it up. Ennui – a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement. It’s a far greater threat than simple procrastination. Let me walk you through my never-ending battle with ennui. But first, a word from our sponsors… Before I get started, know… Read more »
More than a week past my very last birthday BBQ, things are well back in order around the JMD household. During the BBQ, I brought up my desire to plan something big for my roundy next year. The general consensus was “that sounds like a cool idea”. Then I threw it open to the floor…. Read more »
Gee, I sure hope not! The final day of shared self-reflection on my (now willing to admit) interesting life. We pick up from where we were yesterday, fired at the nadir of the financial crisis of 2009. Nobody wants me There I was, just shy of 50 years old and fired (let go, laid off,… Read more »

Actually, it looks like it will be less than that. Based on the remaining bills trickling in, it looks like I will come in well short of my adjusted budget. So short, in fact that it will have run less than $1 per mile for the whole trip. In my last stopover, my friends were… Read more »
Nah, the car is fine. Got the little paint scrapes on the front right bumper, but hopefully that’s something I can get touched up (though car dealers now like to use the “have to replace the whole bumper” line, so we’ll see). No, I’m talking about stuff you actually change into. Wearable stuff. During the entirety… Read more »
