I have been thinking about money lately.  A lot.  I know, I know. “Join the club!  It is called ‘everybody!’”  Sigh.  I do not know how much Social Security will be around by the time I get there.  And I … Continue reading →

Posted on January 2, 2023 by Cosand

They Were Wrong: Skills

Posted on December 30, 2022 by Cosand

My Reason for the Season

Posted on December 9, 2022 by Cosand

Trying Out: Massage Parlor (Or, Getting Rubbed the Wrong Way)

Posted on November 2, 2022 by Cosand

Expired Dates

Posted on October 19, 2022 by Cosand

As a teenager, I thought I know how attraction worked.  You looked around the high school, you saw a girl you thought had nice aspects, and you fell for her.  Simple.  Oh sure, a Hollywood movie might cause you to … Continue reading →

A Fund Farewell

Posted on September 2, 2022 by Cosand

Good Samaritan, but Not Great

Posted on August 18, 2022 by Cosand
