It’s Not Too Early!

As we bid farewell to another summer, I’m reminded of how much I don’t like winter. I know what you’re thinking: “Jay, it’s not even fall yet, and you’re complaining about winter already?” Yes, yes I am. Because as enjoyable as fall can be, it’s a stark reminder of what’s coming next. Long after the beautiful fall foliage is gone (and I’ve raked my yard 15 times) we will be left with the colorless, lifeless, barren landscape that is winter.
With that in mind, I say it’s not too early to plan your winter vacation! My daughter decided she doesn’t like flying anymore. Since I don’t plan on spending 4 of my 7 vacation days piloting the family truckster to Florida, it looks like this year’s winter vacation is adults only.
Darn!

Flying Cars Coming Soon?
You may recall back in 2023, it made news that a company was working on a flying car and had received FAA approval for testing. To me, it seemed like anything else…just a dream, but likely nothing we would ever see in our lifetime. Fast-forward two years, and we are now (potentially) on the brink […]
