Drink, Steal, Swear and Lie

Posted on January 19, 2025January 10, 2025 by Scott Westerman

How to Age Ungracefully

Posted on January 12, 2025January 10, 2025 by Scott Westerman

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it is that keeps some of us running at full steam well into our 80s, while others retreat to the recliner. It feels like this is a key: Don’t retire. Refocus.
