…and now a word about Substack. I'm an oldster who misses the MySpace and Tumblr era. Creative, fun hangouts where the cool kids held court. I don't recall ever having to dodge freak-a-zoids on those early social media platforms. Substack, however, is a different beast. I've only been an active "Content Creator" for a month,…

Another year to collect experiences and turn them into mileposts along Life's Highway. Even the daily grind deserves one's best effort. The road can change course without us ever knowing we've…
