more about me
Since 1992 I have been studying American heritage while living a pop culture hermitage.
I pulled the plug more than 30 years ago as an experiment in essential living.
For 30+ years that's meant: no TV; no Facebook; no Twitter; no Instagram; no TikTok; no texting; no followers; no likes; no subscribers; no subscriptions...
...no comments; no reviews; no shares; no NetFlix; no movies...
...no modern sports; no modern “music”; no video games; no credit cards; no debt; no logos...
...no celebrities; no fashion; no trends.
