(C) 2022, JJ Shaun I am a product of my diet. And I don’t mean just the nourishment I consume. I am a product of every book, board game, video game, news story, magazine article, and television show I have devoured. I am a product of the people I spend time with and the experiences … Continue reading Watch Your Diet
I feel like a broken record. Again, a week of phone calls with no resolutions. We have contacted our contractor, our loan provider, our home sales rep, and our financial adviser. We’ve signed the purchase order and have enough money in my retirement fund to give me a bit of a raise. On the upside, … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 54

We decided to begin with an old Jayco travel trailer that we used mainly for storage. (C) 2020, JJ Shaun It held the holiday decorations … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 8

To say I’m bored out of my gourd is an understatement. And until I’m covid-free, I’m stuck in neutral. My … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 5
Two weeks ago, I dreamed that our house burned to the ground. First Reader and I were evacuated the Wednesday morning before this dream invaded my sleep.
