It was a comfortable but cloudy day and I had nothing else important to do, so I gathered my balls and paddle and headed to the pickleball courts in my small town. It was noon on a weekday and as I expected, nobody was there. That’s OK because I just wanted to get the feel of it and what better way than to have the place to yourself.? I chose a court by the entrance and had at it. Pretty much all you can do by yourself is practice serving the ball. I had four balls with me, so I could hit it four times before having to walk around to the other side and repeat the procedure. I’m a pretty well ..read more

Last week, I finally bit the bullet and joined a health club. Some might say that Planet Fitness is not a real health club, but I think it’s just fine for regular people. (as if I was regular, lol.) After going back and forth with myself for days, I finally decided today was the day to go check it out. After all, the hardest part of doing anything is getting started. Putting the New Thing Anxiety aside, I grabbed some stuff and went. After checking in, I asked for a quick tour, and they were happy to take me around and show me where everything was. After that, I went to the changing room and ..read more

It’s January 30th and the weather was good, so I decided to plow the field in preparation for planing next month. It rained last week, so the ground was soft but not muddy. I chose….wisely. Early February planting is not usually recommended because there’s still a chance of freezing weather through the end of the month. I have a hunch that Global Warming may be making that unlikely. I looked at a couple of 30-day forecasts. You can’t trust a 30-day forecast, of course because that’s just too far in advance for even today’s supercomputers to predict. However, the temps are looking pretty darn ..read more

Resolutions don’t have to be done at the beginning of a new year, but it’s a good marker for a fresh start. I’ve never been a fan of resolutions because they seem silly, but as I get older, they begin to make a little sense. It’s at least an attempt to make yourself better in some way. I don’t need to lose weight, or sleep more, or get a better job. My needs are mostly psychological and personal. They are all very difficult, otherwise they would not need to be resolutions. I guess that’s true with all issues. Let’s see if I can list them.  Smile inside – I don’t smile on the outside much, mo ..read more

I need to get some new clothes. (said the nudist.) Of course, I have little use for clothing during the summer months, but during the winter, one has to wear clothes or one gets rather cold. I’m not really much of a fashion follower. Never cared for it. Clothing has usually been utilitarian for me. If you were to classify my style, it might be, “Homeless.” I usually wear t-shirts because what else do you need? Some of my shirts are from the 80s and I still wear them. Many are oversized, stretched, worn, and full of holes. Yet I still wear them.  Maybe it’s time to update my homeless look to a ..read more

It may be a day late, but it was a good time to prepare our annual Thanksgiving Meal. I invited my best friends, Myself and I, over for a nice naturist holiday dinner. They are never too busy to spend time with me, and I’m always their top priority. It seemed like way too much trouble to make a whole turkey, so I bought a package of legs, which are the best part anyway. The best part is, they only have to cook for about an hour in the oven at 400 degrees. For sides, we had some of the old favorite standards, Stove Top Stuffing, canned cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes ..read more

By Chad Jipeeti In a surprising response to the growing concerns of global warming and its adverse effects, millions of people worldwide have taken a bold step towards an eco-friendly lifestyle by embracing nudism. This unique trend has seen families shedding their clothes at home, children playing freely in the backyards, and adventurous souls seeking camaraderie at nudist beaches, resorts, and local clubs. As the reality of climate change becomes more apparent each year, people are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint and live more sustainably. The nudist movement, historically roo ..read more

I haven’t been very writey lately. I guess everything is good for the most part. Without anything specific to write about, I think I’ll just ramble a bit as a general update. My mom’s house sold quickly at an unbelievably high price. I figured I would list it a good amount above what I figured it was worth, and I got an offer that was close enough. On top of all the preparation work I did on it, there was a list of fixes the buyer wanted to be done. I went ahead and took care of them. I saved at least a thousand dollars doing it all myself. Closing is on Friday this coming week. I have to spl ..read more

I have been feeling rather peaceful lately. It has been two months since I’ve made it known that I am unavailable in order to tend to my mental health. I really think that it has worked. I spend most of my days a home and am very satisfied to do so. I’ve been leaving the house so little that the grass is growing over my driveway. I try to keep my away missions down to two a week. It feels fantastic to stay home alone. No demands from others. No having to pretend to be someone I am not. Not being judged by anyone. It’s just simple living and maximum peace. It really has done wonders for my men ..read more

I’m starting to really get pissed off now. Last night, I told myself to turn my phone off, but I didn’t listen. Today I had to turn down one dinner invitation, reluctantly accept a future lunch invitation, and reluctantly accept a lunch invitation for Easter tomorrow. Had I turned my phone off, I wouldn’t be in this motherfucking predicament. The message on my voice mail says, “I need time to tend to my mental health. Please call back in a few months. Thanks for understanding.” People who have heard it, ignore it or text me instead. People who haven’t, still text me, or I make the mistake of ..read more
