Not a Fan of Only Fans This week’s column was inspired by a friend who sent me an article about a young woman in Australia who has turned her OnlyFans account into a lucrative, money-grabbing opportunity. 26 year-old Annie Knight used to make around $60k a year as a marketing agent as she scrimped and […]
E-Bikes: Promoting Health or Encouraging Laziness? Most of my friends probably cannot believe that I have not written on this subject sooner. They have heard me rave, time after laborious time, about how obnoxious e-bikes are out on the rec paths of Summit County, Colorado where we live. They have heard me fume about the […]
Please Tell Me Again About Your Second Home I love living in a resort town. Sure, there are exasperating moments being inundated with the ignorant and frustrating behavioural choices of the visitors that some of my friends have come to calling “tourons”. They come here and ride on the wrong side of the rec path […]

But other times, we are the victims of irony, as […]
I Love a Happy Ending I love a happy ending. Ok there, pervs, get your mind out of the gutter. I mean that I love a story that ends with an inspirational outcome. Perhaps it’s just the eternal optimist in me, but I relish the gratifying glow of a story arc that concludes with positive […]
Birthdays Don’t Suck So Bad After All As I prepare to settle in for yet another birthday, another 365 days spent floating adrift on a giant rock hurtling through the outer reaches of space in an elliptical orbit around a flaming ball of hydrogen and helium, I marvel at how the time has gone […]
The Future of an AI Workplace I’m soon to be out of a job. Let’s face it- AI could probably write this column in less time than it takes me to start my computer and mix myself the stiff cocktail it usually takes for me to slog through this drivel. In fact, if I asked […]
