A1NCnYrThjL._SL1500_I’ve been trying to read more; it isn’t working out the way I had hoped, but I’m still making the effort. I have started at least 3 books without finishing them, but right now I’m reading Gumption by Nick Offerman. I loved Paddle Your Own Canoe and couldn’t wait for the follow-up title by Ron Swanson.

    I’ve decided just this morning that I’m going to start each day with an educational video that’s less than 5 minutes long. A couple of years ago I spent a weekend with a group of friends when I realized they all knew way more than me about things not in their professional field. Since then,…
