REVIEW – Several months ago I returned to work full-time, but that does not mean that things returned to normal.

REVIEW – There’s not a lot worse than having to pay for air to inflate the tires on your car or bike. Not to mention finding a place that has an air pump these days. I own a portable inflator, it is nice, but it needs to be plugged into your car’s 12V outlet. That

REVIEW – I’ll admit I’m a bit of a phone diva. I get suckered into the latest and greatest phone with shocking regularity, even though at this point I think we can all admit that innovation between models is marginal and the prices of flagship phones are ridiculous. With that in mind, I was curious

REVIEW – I’m out of shape. I admit it. I need to exercise, but I want it to be fun. I’d been thinking about getting a bike because I used to love mine when I was a kid/teenager. I rode it everywhere in the small town where I grew up, but it’s been decades since

REVIEW – Sometime last year I called my plumber and asked him to take a look at my sewer pipes to make sure that all is well. I made this request because the home I purchased 2 years ago was built in the late 1940s and I have a strong suspicion that many of the
