Hello There!

My office with sit down and stand up desk and computers.
My home office.

Welcome to another reboot of my writing space. I've had many in my 40 years of writing-for-hire. Staying on top of the ever-changing media landscape requires it.

I write on an eclectic list of subjects that critical thinkers will enjoy. Cultural observations, the aging psyche, living intentionally, self-reliance, and more. You’ll find me on four platforms: this blog, Medium, Mastodon, and Bluesky.

All four platforms are free. And each is devoid of advertising, fake news, sensationalism, and clickbait. My words are my own -- never AI. Occasionally, I may use an AI-generated illustration, rather than my own photography, but it is always noted.

My Background

I've been a writer-for-hire for decades. In addition to working with over 250 client companies, I created the Curious Elder newsletter on the Substack platform during the COVID-19 shutdown and the blog Cycling Nirvana a few years before that in this same space.

I’m a road cyclist, Nordic walker, DIYer, humanist, husband, father, grandfather, and caregiver, and I support small businesses. My interests include culture, science, photography, technology, gardening, and aging, among other things.

I hope you enjoy reading and visiting all of my writing spaces. Please participate in the conversation. Become a community member by commenting and contributing to discussions and video gatherings. All of my work is free to consume, but if you can contribute a small donation, it would assist with my expenses. Please use the Ko-Fi button at the top of the sidebar.

Thank you for stopping by.
