REVIEW – Winter is here! Temperatures are dropping below freezing at night! That can only mean one thing: It’s entirely too cold in my bathroom when I want to take a shower in the morning. I’m hoping that the solution to my cold problem is Gladle’s new space heater. What is it? The Gladle space …

REVIEW – We didn’t travel much in 2020 due to COVID; instead, we chose to be cautious and hang out at home a lot. Hopefully things will look better in 2021, especially if these vaccines work well. If they do, then we’ll definitely take a vacation or two. Maybe we’ll head down to Myrtle Beach, …

REVIEW – Before I walled up in the home office for the year 2020, I moved myself around town using a variety of methods.

REVIEW – When I reviewed the Tribit QuietPlus 50 headphone, I said, “At $60, the QuietPlus 50 is the least expensive of four QuietPlus models Tribit offers. Heck, the most expensive—Tribit QuietPlus 78—is only $20 more.” And wouldn’t you know, Tribit sends me the QuietPlus 78 headphone to review. So, is the QuietPlus 78 $20 …
