2014/02/10 Anarchy, Expatriation, Liberty, The Fed, Bitcoins and the Illuminati! – Super Bowl Sunday I was honored to be invited to speak with Out Of The Box, a discussion based broadcast produced by Above Top Secret. (links below) The producers initially thought our discussion might last thirty minutes, but the Muses pushed it to over…
2014/01/15 Bug Out Bags of the Deludinnati! – I recently read that some Wall Street types have suggested Bug-Out Bags to their audience via one of the Lame Street Media outlets. I should have jotted down where I read about it and the collectivist media outlet that broadcast the recommendation, but I was too busy…
2013/12/03 Failure Is How We Get Ahead In Life I’ve been a failure since my first breath. Born with a mortal congenital heart defect I was not expected to live beyond four years of age. But in 1963 failures like me were given a chance to live beyond our natural physiology, pediatric cardiac surgeons at…
2013/11/27 I’ve been a slacker over the last month or so. I hate asking for assistance. Maybe it’s a guy thing, but even when I have been ground into the dirt, asking for help has always been the last thing I would consider. In 1989, I returned to the Great Lakes from California which was…
2013/11/05 You don’t always get the girl. You cast your line and settle for beans instead of salmon.

When your 21 year old daughter stops by just to make sure you are okay, you know you’re fucked.…
2013/10/17* Being a Project Management Geek for over twenty years, I appreciate that reality seldom conforms to plans. As jaded as I’ve become in my old age, I still am surprised when tasks take longer than expected. Why? Because I’ve managed so many projects that I know what is likely to go wrong, or take…
2013/10/10 Start-Ups, Archaeology and the Infernal Revenue Service Entrepreneurs and Start-UP Ventures Since young adulthood I’ve had good years and bad years financially. The bad years increased my knowledge and skill sets so they were incredibly valuable too. As a serial entrepreneur it is not uncommon to have entire years without taxable income, while other…
2013/09/11 Exes and Unions and Taxes, Oh My! I probably should have provided this background earlier on, but by the time one decides to leave the nation of their birth there has already been years of introspection and internal debate about why one would leave or should leave. Having grown up in the States and…
2013/10/07 Having presented a number of articles about the Boot-Strap Expat adventure, it’s time take a sneak peek at what the adventure might look like. As an artist and wilderness lover it seems that there is always something wonderful to capture and record along the way. During previous adventures my cameras captured wonders that were…
2013/09/30 Do you love a great deal? Do you prowl Craigslist, Thrift Stores, Free-cycle, Flea Markets, yard and garage sales? Do you know what antiques and collectibles are worth? Are you willing to make a reasonable offer below listed price to arrive at a fair exchange? I have some confessions to make. I hate paying…
