It’s August, and I’m another year older. Maybe another year wiser. Life experience is great and can be used for all sorts of savings and discounts.

In Search of the Florida Springs

By Shawn McKee on July 4, 2022July 4, 2022

Time is precious. Each day is an opportunity, especially the weekends. Like many, I value the weekends and the two-day respite from the necessary work-a-day routine.

Presidents’ Day: Hail to the Chiefs

By Shawn McKee on February 21, 2022February 22, 2022

Unfortunately, I was unable to interview George Washington for his birthday. My time rocket is in the shop, and I’ve had to work overtime at the mop head factory to pay for repairs. For quality mops, you can’t beat Benson’s!
