A Walk Through the Mind
We all have our favorite podcasts that we listen to, so I try to keep it short. I take 15-30 minutes and discuss a topic that's bouncing around in my mind and invite you to listen. Find a topic that I've riffed on and see what you think of it.

Peace and Prosperity
Peace and Prosperity usually are said to go hand in hand. But in a recent reading of a book, there was a country that stated that they look more for Prosperity before Peace.

Commercial Kitchen Scores
How often do we pay attention to the health department scores of the restaurants we patronize? They are there for the best outcomes for us as we eat there. But, there is a local news segment that regularly reviews the regular inspections to do, as I view them, hit jobs on the restaurants that receive less than stellar scores.

Utilizing Old Hardware
Technology has come so far for personal computer use and gaming from when I was a kid to now. There's a time and a place for the latest and greatest technology to get the most out of our investment. But for those of us who have collected all these older devices, when do we throw them out? Times of today have allowed us to utilize older hardware in an attempt to keep them out of the landfill. And there's plenty of reason to invest time and energy into reviving old hardware and learning to code to make our own s…

Fast Food Gut
Life is so busy these days, and cooking takes up so much time, let alone having to do dishes afterwards. Fast Food is a way of life; so much so that McDonalds teamed with TikTok to give reviews of their new sauces. And with my newfound search of healthy foods, its spiked my interest in what we really are eating, only to come across some articles talking about new studies showing greater health impacts of eating 20+% of your meals from the drive-thru.

Paperless Billing
How many of our bills are paperless? By choice, or by mandate? When the time comes, how will the ones who have to take over our estate know what bills are coming due, and being charged?

Feng Shui
How do we keep our homes? Are they always a mess, or always, pristine? Maybe, somewhere in between? Is it an organized chaos that you can point to whatever you need at a moment's notice, or is it just a disaster and everything's lost in the pile? Feng Shui is a state of flow, and sometimes our house breathes with us, and sometimes we fight against it. How do we lay out our abodes to breathe with us?
