Throwback 2018 (and 2019)! Our family vacation took us up to Center Hill Lake and then onto the waters below the dam, the Caney Fork River. We went in 2018 and had such a fun day that we did another section of the river in 2019. Both days were very fun days. Both times I …

We were headed to Albuquerque to drop Molly and Olivia off at the airport [sad face emoji]. The charge for their taxi service? I made them stop at Petroglyph National Monument (in Albuquerque, New Mexico) for a quick hike. We saw hundreds of petroglyphs carved into the stone. After a successful dropoff, Emily and I …

Throwback 2018! We’d been to Disney World several times. This was our first trip to Universal. We went with my sister’s family. We visited both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We also hit 2 parks in Disney World with them (Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom). After they went home we stayed a few more …

We visited the cliff dwellings at Bandelier National Monument. This place is a pretty fascinating lost city of the past. We’d been here before a long time ago. We’ve never been up to Alcove House before, however. 4 very tall ladders (also very scary) later we reached the top (140 feet above the canyon floor). …
Throwback 2019! Like most 70-year-olds I know Hogdaddy wanted to go ziplining for his birthday?!? He did go too…and invited all of us to come along. We met in Louisville, KY at Mega Cavern. It is an old limestone mine and is actually classified as the largest ‘building’ in Kentucky. There are 17 miles of …

Emily and I got up early one morning and drove up from Santa Fe, NM to Valles Caldera National Preserve. We took a quick hike and drove through this massive volcano valley. It wasn’t a long hike but it was a beautiful one. The sunrise combined with the valley being filled with fog made the …

I got to meet my investing idol and one of the nicest guys around, Preston Pysh. I was in full fanboy mode (but also tried to remain cool). “Be cool Joey…be cool!” My son (also Preston) went with me to Peter McCormack’s “What Bitcoin Did” live podcast episode in Nashville (with guest Preston Pysh and …
On our visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico we drove up to Los Alamos to visit the Manhattan Project National Historical Park. This was a bust! COVID had the operating schedule fouled up and we didn’t get to see a lot. We completely salvaged the day, however, when we stopped at our next stop, Tsankawi …
THROWBACK 2019! Emily was babysitting and they were going to the zoo. I hadn’t been to the Nashville Zoo in a while so I used it as an excuse to go be a kid. While there I contemplated which animal I might want to be. Hmmm!?!?
“No one cares…work harder!” I’ve heard this quote numerous times. It is great. It rolls up two important concepts that I’ve lived by most of my life. 1) Work hard at moving your life in the direction you want it to go. 2) There are very few people who give two craps about you. Conversely …
