A Weekend Trip to Colorado and Wyoming in the Fall
Most of my trips to Colorado end the same way, with me on a plane wondering why I don’t live there. That’s the short version of this post.

Afternoon Tea, ABBA, and Endless Wandering: A Weekend In Milwaukee
The Milwaukee I spent a weekend in recently with my two teenage daughters is walkable, beautiful in places, rich in culture and history, and full of the kind of off-script moments that make a girls’ weekend memorable long after it’s over.

Most retirement content (books, podcasts, financial planning guides) is written for people whose kids have left the nest. The vision it sells is the same as the one I had going in: extended travel, leisurely mornings, and complete control over your calendar. You do get some of that. It’s just not the whole picture when you have to get someone to dance at 6pm.
