I’ve been flying a lot recently, mostly within North America with a sprinkle of oceanic flights here and there. I mainly fly solo, but on a recent work trip my wife was able to join me, and when that happens we like to make the best of things. And by […]
The Grand Canyon has always been a place that I’ve wanted to see. Just saying ‘The Grand Canyon’ gives me a warm-n-fuzzy feeling. And now I can finally say I’ve experienced The Grand Canyon, but in visiting Arizona I realized it’s a state of endless life experiences! Okay, let’s start […]
I have a big confession to make. I’m not really Canadian. It’s true. I’m actually Australian. Put another shrimp on the barbie while I grab us a couple Foster’s Lagers and I’ll tell you about “my trip home to Australia” tale over a Vegemite sandwich. Before I go into it, […]
Europe was never really on my bucket list. Actually, I don’t even have a bucket list. Sometimes I do something then think to myself “hmm, that should’ve been on some sort of list of things I’d like to do before I die”. And oddly enough, the cover of my book; […]

The song Gone by Pearl Jam was very inspirational for me. Actually, many PJ songs have been an inspiration; Jeremy, Gone, Corduroy, Life Wasted, Unthought Known…I could list entire albums I grew up listening to. But the lyrics in Gone helped inspire and motivate me to sell all my stuff […]
I’m a DIYer. I like to “do it myself”. I’m pretty good at most DIY stuff, but I know my limits, too. DIY can provide some big-time renovation savings. Not knowing your limits can eliminate those renovation savings with a flick of a light-switch, or turn of the tap. But there […]
Something very unique happened after the 2nd World War — an entire generation of pack-rats was born. Rather than go by “Pack-Rat Generation”, they called themselves Baby Boomers – or at least someone started calling them that. Now, this is totally a generalization. Not all boomers are pack-rats. In fact, […]
Selling stuff is fun. I wouldn’t have started this site if I didn’t enjoy both selling stuff, and talking about selling stuff. When you start selling stuff – be it online or at a yard sale – you really do feel lighter. Don’t believe me? Try it then. Sell a […]
