It’s a dreary day—a welcome day off from my office job. But here I sit, on the couch, unmotivated. And I’m feeling bad about that. Many days, ok I’m lying, on occasion, sometimes, I will get up and just start cleaning, or doing, or whatever the case may be, and Read more

Here’s something to think about. Well, it’s something I’m thinking about anyway. First of all, the premise of this missive is that I live alone. I spend a lot of time alone. As I’ve mentioned, I work 3 days a week, but before work I’m alone, when I come home Read more
