Cord Cutting: Streaming sports in Charlotte NC - August 30, 2025
The never ending quest to watch as much sports (but pay as little) as possible. TL;DR – jump to conclusion . Almost a decade ago I ditched cable TV. It was one of the best feelings handing back the old cable box I had been renting, and joining the crowd of cord cutters. All I needed was a decent alt...
Cheap date night idea - August 29, 2025
It doesn't get much cheaper than free. Charlotte has some phenomenal museums. And many of them are FREE on Wednesdays after 5.

A Day at the Zoo - June 04, 2025
My wife and I took her youngest niece to the North Carolina Zoo recently. This was our first time to visit. I've been to a few zoos before. I visited the National Zoo (part of the Smithsonian) in DC many times, and the Pittsburgh Zoo a few years ago, which are both great zoos. And a long time ago I ...
Simple Joy in a Complex World - May 17, 2025
Maybe it's a sign of aging but I find the world seeming increasinly more and more complicated. The complexity is in fact nearly overwhelming. I think our constant connected lives are party to blame for this sensation. Time feels like it's accelerating as if entering into a technological event horizo...
