Give Me Back My Five Bucks

He just announced another West Coast tour, and you know I have to go. This time it’s in Seattle on Jan 26th. I got 2 tickets in the 8th row, but I’m hoping to somehow get a better seat.

Another big part of retirement for me is to live a simple life, while doing the least possible damage to the environment surrounding me. This is NOT a sponsored post. I … Continue reading →
