First post

I decided to start Joe’s Garage for several reasons. 

One is I am a  reader and  have a terrible time  keeping track of what I read as well as remembering books I want to recommend to others.  I read about fitness, climbing, business, technology and fiction and periodically gorge on sci-fi and fantasy. 

Next, writing about business and culture helps me to  understand an issue or topic at a first principles level and is a tool to drive me toward more disciplined thought and clear framing of my ideas.   I have a lifetime of interest in fitness and the sheer volume of useless information in the googleverse compels me to write down in one place what matters to the health(physical, mental, and spiritual) of this mid 50’s adult living in a society that remains preoccupied with medicating itself  rather than seeking some sort of actual healthfulness. 

Last, an incredible woman has encouraged me for years to do this with patience and reminders and I at last feel compelled to get some of these thoughts out of my head and onto “paper.”  I hope you enjoy and can take something from it.
