“The Why”….a short film from Billy Yang

I haven’t been running for a while…except to get a package to a front porch quickly. I miss it. I’m not competitive….or very fast….but there’s something really good about getting out every morning and feeling the breeze on my face….the … Continue reading

I’ll be driving around….freaking mail flying out of the Cherokee….jumping stuff just to scare the old women waiting at their windows….passing all the flags sticking up in the air….waiting for their high flying mailman to stop every once in a while…

Oh. Oh, man! I didn’t even think that this was possible….but it raises a bunch of questions. Could I drive like a bat out of Hades on the mail route? They want me to hurry. I drive too slow. I … Continue reading

Norwegian Kids Play Outside! Norwegian Kindergarten….

“The fact that you are not happy is because your life doesn’t match the way you think it should be.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAsPFH8EDZU Morning motivation….what better time to start getting motivated a little? I took a day off work on Friday to get the well drilling process started….and could really notice when it was time to go back to work four days … Continue reading

Don’t build This thing When it’s Raining….
