Lifestyle

We live in a honeycomb of single family houses with fences and private yards, cells incubating children, connected by an asphalt grid.

Paper has its own mythology, a physical presence that gives it credibility in minds that have not been subsumed into the digital world.

We make an emotional investment in stuff, and start to feel like the things we love are us. That’s why shedding our stuff can feel painful.

I expected ageism to play in our favor, thought we would be treated like the ideal tenant, but I was wrong.  

For me 2024 begins with new home, new car, new book. Stick with me while I live out loud and dance through the changes.

Costco felt like a math theme park and we were all on the same carnival ride, adding, subtracting and dividing, doing money math.   

In what seems like a continuous flow of calamity, so far my family and friends have had no major losses. We are the lucky ones.
