One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

Beating the booze
'Beating the booze' may be an exaggeration. All I have done is to come up with a new approach to cutting down my alcohol intake. Why? Am I a drunk, an alcoholic, a problem drinker? No, to at least two of these questions and 'not really' to the other. I will admit that I drink more than is strictly healthy so that, from time to time, I make attempts at cutting down my alcohol intake. Some are quite successful... for a while at any rate.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp !
A pig slept on warm hay, as if the world stood no chance against its slumber. Its back was turned towards me. His safety was never questioned. But who am I, and should I ever be trusted? It doesn’t matter because that pig had a safe home and would never be evicted. Eaten, but never evicted.

The Science of Motivation: Strategies to Stay Inspired Every Day
Motivation begins in the mind, shaped by how we perceive goals, rewards, and progress. Psychological research shows that intrinsic motivation, which is driven by internal satisfaction and personal meaning, tends to produce more sustainable results than relying solely on external rewards. When individuals connect their efforts to a deeper purpose, they experience greater enthusiasm, creativity, and persistence. Tasks no longer feel like forced obligations but become meaningful steps toward something personally significant.

High-Altitude Hysteria and the Bacon of Grace: A 1,800-Mile Descent Into the Neon Heart of the Sun
The speedometer on the '94 Volkswagen Type 2 was a liar, vibrating between seventy and seventy-five MPH like a caffeinated needle on a record player. Milwaukee was a gray smear in the rearview—a tomb of ice and failed starts. Ahead lay two thousand miles of open-road, existential dread, and the heavy, rhythmic panting of a hundred-and-forty-pound Saint Bernard named Loki.
