It’s funny the little traditions in a relationship that carry on. I’m so fortunate to be in the same relationship for nearly 40 years now. And I’m even more fortunate that said relationship is with my very best friend. My wife and I have always been so bonded to each other. We met over some […]

I have to say that I’ve always been a bit more that curious about marijuana. But for nearly all of my adult life, cannabis products have been illegal. For me, that’s sort of where curiosity met an unyielding reality. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my career or my standing in the community over a marijuana […]

It doesn’t take that much to make me happy. And I think that’s actually a pretty good thing. I’m for sure a cheap date. Shoot, a bottle of decent red, good company and a nice view is my kind of wonderful. So I keep it pretty basic when it comes to what makes life worth […]

My friends and I planned to go camping all weekend. Camping is a fun activity that all of us like to do when the weather is warm and sunny. We take all of our fishing poles, bait, and tackle boxes and go to the lake where there are a couple of cabins. The cabins don’t […]

My mom went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago because she is having a lot of chronic pain in her knee and hip. The pain is from getting older and the cold weather doesn’t help. When my mom went the last time, the doctor suggested that marijuana might be able to help. My […]

I honestly didn’t think I was going to be late for work this morning. I overslept by 15 minutes, but I didn’t think those extra minutes were going to be a big deal. I got into the shower and washed my face, hair, and body. I made a cup of coffee for my insulated thermos. […]

I woke up in the morning and it was very early. The sun was not quite shining yet, but I could see a small amount of light outside. I let my dogs outside to pee. They have a small yard, but they like to run around for a little bit of time while I go […]

We have come a long way from where we used to be, but yet we are still far away from where we should be. There are still people with heavy prejudices, and unfortunately I have a feeling that it will always be that way. There are always going to be people that have negative thoughts […]

Admittedly, I was pretty nervous. I was going to a cannabis dispensary today. But before I go into that and my experience there, let me tell you how I ended up in this situation to begin with. It all started when I was in my early 20s. I don’t know what happened, but it seems […]

I was a college gymnast. I was constantly working on the next best thing and pushing my body. I constantly was fighting injuries. I wore a knee brace, wrist brace and taped my ankles. I also regularly soaked in a hot tub and got massages. Combine this with daily stretching and working out, I hardly […]
