Debt Reduction 101

I found this blog post today and thought it was pretty funny.

I’ve noticed a trend in my life and my thinking … I get frustrated and I second guess myself the most when I feel that I’m being ineffective. Now that can be in any facet of my life … it could be because of a proposal I write at work that feels incomplete or [...]

OK – March hasn’t been the banner year that I want it to be in terms of my gardening progress. But hey – I got some Roma tomatoes started, so that’s a small start.
Here’s the spreadsheet that I’ve started. I guess what I’m trying to accomplish in this inaugural year is to see [...]

Northfield is an interesting community and when I lived there, I had the joy of working downtown which meant that I [...]

My buddy W serves as an inspiration to me. We met while working at the cab company and we’ve continued to be close friends even though he now works at another job.
Why is W inspiring? Well, he’s had a lifelong struggle with his weight and he’s been working his ass off [...]
