ask the boss


Hello!

Thought I'd share a little question and answer from Ronald. 


Q: Would you ever live in the middle of nowhere?

A: I guess in some ways it depends on how much middle of nowhere we’re talking about. If it’s one of those situations where we live miles away from neighbors, but have grocery stores and what not within reasonable driving distance and we have cable and internet and such, yes absolutely. It would be a bit weird of course, but we’re sort of recluse people anyways. The people we hang out with are usually not our neighbors, so I don’t think we’d miss much. Of course, there’s the scary aspect of living away from resources. I don’t know. It’s an option, but I don’t feel strongly one way or another.

If you mean living in the woods without access to anything “modern” then no. It would be cool for a little bit, but I’m no hunter-gatherer.

I agree completely with Ronald. We totally are recluses, and I'm ok with that. I would love to spend a Summer in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country. It would be so cool to just have quiet and space. Space is at such a premium in the bay area. We are lucky to have a backyard and a bit of privacy. 

I'm not really into the whole American version of country living. Maybe it's just stereotypes, but it seems a bit dreary to me. A coastal town would be awesome though.

What do you think? Would you live in the middle of nowhere?

Ask The Boss




So somehow I married the cutest guy on earth. If I told him this to his face he would hide in his hoodie as pictured above. He also does this when I take more than three consecutive photos of him. Which is better than me, as I usually hide after one!

I thought it would be fun to start a new feature on the blog so you can get to know this kid better. It's called ask the boss as that is my go-to nickname for him. I call him that more than his real name, and I have fore years. I don't really know how or why I started calling him this, but I have for years.

Without further adieu, here is my first question to the 'boss' followed by his answer.

Q: What is your favorite TV show?

A: Right now my favorite show is True Detective. I think the moodiness and complexity is awesome. The acting is incredible of course. More importantly the show makes you ask questions, about life, about religion, about love, about friendship. You hear all these things that sound crazy but then you think about them more and they make some sense to you, which makes you think more deeply about it all. 

I don’t know that it’s my favorite show of all time (not sure what that is) but for now there it is.

If you haven't seen True Detective on HBO you are seriously missing out. It is totally brilliant. It's dark and violent, so beware for that, but it isn't mindless violence for violence sake. Check out the link above to learn more. The first season just ended but you can probably still catch episodes online or with your cable provider.

I'll be asking Ronald more questions and will try to post an answer once a week. What do you think?
