The first month of any year does seem to last forever. Never been able to find the root cause, probably because we all try to start the new calendar year with a multitude of plans. Many people set themselves up for failure by trying to achieve too much, too soon and with little planning. Trying […]
Lifestyle Changes
Many months since a blog post, making me wonder who still actually reads this blog and is it worth still investing the expense to keep it running (along with all my other websites). While I can continue to have a relative limit web presence for free by using Twitter and Facebook. (Although Facebook I tend […]
Life Before Shazam
How did we identify songs before the mobile app Shazam? Well, you would have to remember a key lyric in the song, ideally the chorus.
