Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
The teen asked his dad, “Are you high?”
Dad, “Yes. High on life.”
Unintentionally fell into a huge reduction in caffeine intake while visiting out-of-state family over Christmas break.
Plus, 13 years alcohol (and smoke) free.

Spent 30 years on the front line, eventually understanding the front line is where joy reigns.
There’s no happiness in the future. Yet we bank on it anyway.

It’s about autonomy, mastery, and purpose – which allow us to make a positive dent in the Universe.
To personify Walt Disney’s good and decent and lofty values.
