Fountain of Youth, Part 1
A new person recently hired in at my company at exactly the right time for the health of my skin. It was January. The middle of a very cold winter. I had just started a new skin care regiment and got Harry’s face scrub,… Continue Reading “Fountain of Youth, Part 1”

Things I’m Doing
Reading: I listened to a Podcast over the weekend and heard about the book Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha, which I thought sounding quite interesting. The Podcast (by Tim Ferriss) was talking about making yourself your “best friend” and …I… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing”

This is kinda unreal. Look at my lip and compare it to yesterday’s post. Only 24-hours after my first application and … Look?!???? This is only …24 …hours!!! Well the bottle does say something like “like having a plastic surgeon in a bottle” and “beware… Continue Reading “Miracle on My Face”
War Scars and TheraSCAR
I decided long ago I hate paintball. First, I’m horrible at it. I can’t remember a time I wasn’t the first guy eliminated. It was a hard thing to learn, oh those many years ago, that I have basically zero survival instinct and a… Continue Reading “War Scars and TheraSCAR”
