Children are the Best
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. The best gifts I’ve ever been given are my four sons. Two true special women bore children for me and frankly nothing compares to that.

I’m Not Charitable Today
I am forced to warn people again and again that when someone says they are your friend then requests sensitive data or money that they are not in fact your friend. Unsolicited URLs are also not your friend. Ignore and delete them. I did not get scammed today but sadly I failed to keep someone…

Budgeting

The Value of Work
What were your parents doing at your age? My parents have worked hard all their lives. My dad has been a practicing Episcopal minister since around the time I was born. He technically retired a few years ago but still works as a “supply priest” filling in the gaps from the full time priests in…

Exceptional
Sometimes I think I am an exceptional human being. Everybody is unique and special, but I get to thinking that I am more unique and special than most. I am, I think, objectively smarter and more articulate than most of the people I deal with. I also have more awe and gratitude for how amazing…
