As I get older I find it harder and harder to remember my age. My wife has confirmed that I am definitely 33 years old. I’m actually writing this little blurb a couple of days ahead of time. The reason being is that I’ve declared this past weekend as ‘My Birthday Weekend’ and have a whole lot of nothing planned. At this very moment I am sitting in my local cigar shop, enjoying an AJ Fernandez New Word and a …

Like most people, before I ever start exercising I reach for my phone and earbuds. If I’m running, I listen to a podcast and try to educate or entertain myself. If I’m lifting, I like to hear driving music that is likely to motivate me to push harder. My preference for music delivery is earbuds.

It appeared as though their source of entertainment was a single television connected to an antenna mounted to the roof. Being young and reliant on technology, one of the first things I did when we moved in was run cable lines. I contacted Comcast and arranged for …
Winters at the White Household are always tough. Our property is nearly three-quarters of an acre and is home to nearly two-dozen trees (most of which are pine). There isn’t a winter that goes by that doesn’t include fallen tree limbs and plenty of cleanup for Spring. This year was worse than most. Between all of the snow and ice, we had a large number of tree limbs come down. Now that winter has loosened its grip, I’ve finally be …
