2-3 months ago my stepdad’s mother passed away. Two weeks ago, my dad’s father passed away. On Friday, my dad’s mother passed away. The last three grandparents I had, were all gone within a few months. They were the last of a generation in my immediate family, by blood and by marriage. The emotional roller … Read more
As the pandemic shut down Los Angeles in March of 2020, like most people, I was hit with all sorts of roadblocks to the path I was on.

A couple months ago I came across this Kickstarter for GoSun Flatware and I’m giving up plastic utensils as soon as my order shows up. Last year, I purchased these and stopped using plastic straws almost entirely. There was a handful of times in 2019 when I used plastic straws and it feels pretty good … Read more
