INTRO (because you need to see if it's worth it)

The idea behind this blog is to allow myself and others to share ideas about the world. I wish I could tell you that topics will only be political, personal, legal, pop-cultural, but I can't because I'm an ordinary person whose opinion isn't valued in dollars and cents.

I'm from Brooklyn, NY, but now I live in a suburb of Dallas (with a capital P and it rhymes with "draino" and there aren't any poolhalls here). How I ended up here is waaaay too long and boring, so I won't go into that right now. Maybe if you're lucky, I'll treat you all to my personal story. But really. You don't care.

So, let's get down to business.

Here's what I want to talk about: My work, my interests, and whatever you may bring up as topics. Life is good. Let's see how we handle it.

As someone who wants the points my credit card awards, or the cashback my other credit card awards, I feel like I'm always a month behind. I pay off my balance in full each month, but by then of course, I have lowered my bank account and have less to spend in the current month. I do wonder what it would feel like to pay just the bills for my current living expenses. I plan to give it a go, but I won't buy Ramsay's book or go to Financial Peace University. "Where debt is dumb, cash is king, and the paid off mortgag...

Bringing in 2019

Personally, 2018 was a great year. My sweet little grandson was born in March, a niece in June, and a nephew in October. Those milestones alone made the year a banner one. I had the good fortune to meet new friends who I believe will be lifelong ones. I went places, saw things, drove in and around Los Angeles, and found new recipes that appease both my taste buds and my aversion to meats. Huntington Library and Gardens Craft and Folk Art Museum Descanso Gardens Museum of Natural History Rancho Los Alamitos  (Maxine, Vivi, and Glenda) To welcome in the new year, I went with a couple of friends to the Lake Shrine Self-Realization ashram where we meditated and chanted while 2018 left & 2019 arrived. It was a peaceful, quiet way for a community to come together as one in unity and peace. For sure, it was the best way to spend New Year's Eve.
