Hi, I'm Matthew Stublefield
When I retire (or get lots of money coupled with lots of free time, whichever comes first), I've kind of got this plan to open a bar. The furniture and decor will all be solid dark woods, with comfy chairs throughout and plenty of places for people to sit and talk. We'll have my favourite beers and coffees, great sandwiches, and the best potato salad in town. And in the back will be a small printing press where we'll turn out the work of local authors to line the bookshelves I hope will cover every wall of the pub.
Until that day, I'll settle for this, my little corner of the webiverse. Whether you stumbled upon this site through a mutual friend, a perhaps misguided Google search, or by some other extraordinary means, I'm glad you're here. Read a bit, and if you happen upon some inspiration, grab your pen and join the discussion.
I'm currently working on…
Accepting the reality of our situation
When April and I were shopping for a house, we knew we needed something in good shape. We couldn’t buy a fixer up because 1) we didn’t know how to fix things and 2) we wouldn’t have the time to fix something even if we knew how. Subsequently, we paid more for a house than we otherwise might have, and when we found the one we wanted, we paid full price to make sure we got it. I didn’t feel we had time to fool around with alternatives.
