Two months ago I was spending a lot of time in airports. In the span of two months, I spent three weeks flying between Salt Lake City, UT, and Nashville, TN. (For once) I won’t bore you with the details of why. Later, I’m sure.I discovered a couple of...

This is something I go off about occassionally, so don’t expect this to be my final say on the matter. However, each time it’s just a little different…at least that’s what I keep telling myself.When I was 18, I opted to keep working instead of...
