When a Pterodactyl Flys in Your House
Problems. We all get ‘em. But sometimes they seem to come in flocks. Problem with problems is they tend to build.

As usual, I was pressed for time when I walked into the gym. Work is a load, sleep a precious gem and there’s the kids. Need I say more? Yes, time… And I’ve got to get a workout in. Good news is the gym is just downstairs. Phew… In between my cycling events it was…

More, more, more… Consume, consume, consume. Be it in our garage, our homes, or our mouths. Consumers is the mantra that we’ve been conditioned by—the one we are in recovery from. But as we all know, recovery is a way of living not a destination. When more, more, more gets the best of us and…
