Hi everyone. Welcome to the second installment of me sharing stuff on the internet that I’ve either enjoyed, questioned, or am too lazy to write myself (yet).
Last time I called this “Clickable Content.” As soon as I hit publish I immediately found the title spammy and mentally punched myself in the face. It’s surprisingly hard to title this kind of post. Someone give me a good idea please! Enjoy as I stumble my way through this.
Rock and Roll, Baby!
This one has made the rounds this week, but if you missed it, this Atlantic piece by Dave Grohl captures what many of us are surely missing as the summer season approaches: LOUD and sweaty live music.
“I don’t know when it will be safe to sing arm in arm at the top of our lungs. But we will do it again, because we have to.”
Dave Grohl, The Atlantic
In the article Grohl mentions one of my all-time, mega-favorite live recordings. I’ve watched this many, many, many times, and I just keep returning to it. Please enjoy one of Rock’s greatest live performances, the 1985 Live Aid set by Queen.
I think this will bring a smile to your face…(The goods start at 1:34).
Climbing
Thursday night I attended a webinar put on by the Access Fund: Climbing During the Pandemic. I found this meeting, led by infectious disease specialist Paul Pottinger, to be really informative and encouraging. Follow the link to the recorded webinar.
Personal Finance
You’ll hear lots of us personal finance writers harping on “the big three”: housing, transportation, and food.
To lower housing costs, many folks participate in what is known as geoarbitrage, the practice of increasing wealth through lowering the cost of living. In layman’s terms please? Moving somewhere cheaper.
Dave at AccidentalFire has put together an incredible curated list of Geoarbitrage Tools and Resources. Even the #vanlife folks will find resources here. I’m bookmarking this bad boy!
A Table for Two?
As many of you now know, I spent years as a cook in the restaurant industry. The pandemic has put an enormous strain on what was already a tight-margin business, even in good times. I’m sure many of you, like me, can recall so many wonderful experiences around a table with friends and family in a bustling restaurant. As with concerts, when will we share that same experience again?
While this podcast episode is dated by a few weeks, I found it a compelling listen regarding the past, present, and future of the restaurant world: The Daily: Closing the Restaurant That Was My Life for 20 Years.
Remember, the best laid plans mean nothing if you can’t take action today. Have questions? Need some feedback? Hit us up on the Contact page.
