Mathew and his adorable helper at the OB farmers Market

Mathew saves me at lest 20 lbs of slightly bruised "juice" apples each week - as much as I can carry and has never charged me more than $6 for them. I always give him $10. I encourage everyone to patronize Smit Orchards at the Ocean Beach and the La Jolla Farmers Markets. Here is a link to all San Diego farmers markets.

Defining Success, securing your future and staying the hell OUT of trouble

How do you define a successful life? Is it by how much money or stuff you have amassed, or is it by the legacy you leave behind? All too often we equate a successful life with material possessions. Yet, there are millions of people out there who lead successful, fulfilled lives who may be of modest means. They may not be rich in the financial sense, but they are rich in life and values.

So what are the things we should strive for to make our lives successful and have a positive impact on those around us? Here is a list of traits that I think defines what true success in life is all about. Does your list differ?

Face it. She is Barbara

Nouns are some of my favorite words. Among them today are the nouns blond, fantastic, and most certainly Barbara. Barbara Bates needs no introduction nor can she be found in your Thesaurus, this gal has no synonym.

Modernizing the moment

There is nothing in this universe that excites me more than when I discover something that works. It could be a lifestyle change or a less toxic way to wash my car...if it works I am into it.

Like everyone I am sick and tired of stupid people and stuff that does not work, things that do not work and ideas that do not work. I am also over arrogance and self absorbed people who can not see beyond their limitations or through the prison bars that confine them. Sure I still love them but do not ask me to spend time with people who are so trapped by ego that they can not will not or otherwise don't listen. "Put up or shut up" is my new credo...well, it is next to "Sic gorgiamos alos subjectatos nuc" - ask me what it means when you see me or comment below. It is very funny.

The last six months I thought it was important to let people know about things that I discovered and to talk about it until the yawns and scowls appeared. It is important to share ideas and discoveries but I need to come to the surface and share more of the "arts and leisure" parts of my world before my friends begin to think I have turned into an organic turnip! As you all know, and it is certainly no mystery that my success has come from those with whom I have formed friendships. Perhaps it works differently in other people's experience but where reality meets preferences I have chosen to work with people I like. I know it is not progressive or necessarily as profitable as some more upwardly mobile methods of accelerating in our culture, but it works for me. The point of this post is to make it work better while offering sharp skills in a comfortable and professional manner as I expand my ambitious business plan.
