The Right Barstool

Posted on June 13, 2026 by msw blog

In my opinion, the bar is the best place to sit in a restaurant, but I need a barstool that has something to lean back on. While a backless stool might provide a cleaner aesthetic, what am I supposed to slump up against after my second frozen Margarita? A barstool with no back is an accident waiting to happen while a barstool with a back provides a place to hang a coat in the inexcusable absence of hooks.

Growing season

Posted on June 13, 2026 by msw blog

RAVE to growing season. I can now grow my own lettuce instead of paying $3 a head! Tomatoes will take longer, but by the time they’re ready, they’ll probably cost more than gasoline, currently $5-plus per gallon. Everyone should do all they can to grow what they need to feed their households. The federal government ain’t gonna help any. They’re too busy feeding their egos and not American citizens.

Why Friendships Matter 

Posted on June 12, 2026 by msw blog

I’ve audited my friend group. Editing your friends down to those who understand your worth, and spending time with those who are most aligned with what you want for the next half of your life, is key as we age. We’ve been on this earth long enough to spot a true companion. Our bodies are also changing, so empathetic friends trump wingmen from your 20s. We need friends who know and can love us through transitions—from menopause to losing a parent. Who do you want to grow old with? – Kristina Grish
