Wish I could take credit for this but I read about this Idea in Timothy Ferriss's book The 4-Hour Workweek.   I'm not sure I understand how one defines scary however comfort zone is a bit more manageable.  Maybe a few ideas: Browse a magazine that would never appeal to you For one week take a different route other than

I would normally not so blatantly plagiarize but I could not help but break a rule.  I recently came upon this and felt it must be shared.  I do not know the original source and thus ask anyone out there to share the origin if known.  A great smile and truism to share. A young lady confidently walked around the

Many of us have read about "Secret" retirement paradises in the various magazines such as Money, Forbes, and the many books on the subject.  Yes, what better source can there be than the "Bear" ?  Over the next several years your humble Charles Kuralt wannabe will be visiting these places for an unvarnished report and evaluation.  While my endorsement can

Well here I am after 20 years skiing. First, I must confess I was never asked to join the US Olympic (likely an over sight) but in my heart I was a "contender". I'm told the new skis (actually far from new) make the adventure much easier and enjoyable. I'm also told one now wears a hemet when skiing (Tnx

There was a wonderful movie made several years ago that starred Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman called the “Bucket List”. What a great idea! Everyone and most importantly those over sixty need such a list. Such an endeavor is not be taken lightly. The goal should be one hundred (100) possibilities, however such a list will likely take at least
