Side Hustles for Older People (and Everyone Else!)
Mark McNease
The cat is out of the bag: I’ll be leaving my job in three weeks. I spent 30+ years in corporate America, then switched to working in a grocery store when we moved from New York City to rural New Jersey. Six years later I am finally hanging up the deli apron to be … whatever fabulous things I can create! Writing, publishing, podcasting, working with AI and new technologies, you name it. I’m also going to get some side hustles going, and I thought it would be helpful to find out what some good ones are.
Springing Into Joy: It’s Time To Plant Your Garden and Experience Nature’s Bounty
Mark McNease
The arrival of spring is a welcome sight for gardeners everywhere. After the long winter months, it’s time to get outside and start planting your garden. Not only can you enjoy the beauty of nature as new plants bloom but you can also reap the rewards of fresh produce in your own backyard! Planting a garden in spring is an ideal way to celebrate the season and experience all its bounty.
One of the best parts about gardening in spring is that there are so many different types of plants that thrive during this time of year. Vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers and beans do especially well when planted early on in springtime. Herbs like basil, thyme and oregano will add flavor to whatever dish you decide to cook up with your harvest while flowers like roses, daisies and tulips will bring vibrant colors into any outdoor space.

I had some awareness of Bethlehem, PA, mostly because of the casino, now called Wind Creek Bethlehem. But a friend recently told us about her visit to the SteelStacks, complete with a tour of the magnificent rusting behemoth of the Bethlehem Steel plant, and we decided to make a day trip of it. It’s only about a 50 minute drive from our home, so it was easy, and very well worth it. It was the perfect definition of a one-day getaway. We walked over 20,000 steps (each, not combined!), as we strolled along the walkway abutting the massive factory, headed to the casino, then back and over the river to the north side of Bethlehem. There is a south side and we’re saving that for next time!
Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers’ Market Reopens at Dvoor Farm
Mark McNease
After a week of rain, it was a delight to get out in the Sunday sun. Planting in our garden could wait a few hours – first we had to hit the farmers’ market at Dvoor Farm for opening day. Bread, pizza, fresh produce, soaps! We were welcomed by a dozen local artisans and merchants, offering salves for the rain-weary soul. More vendors will come on board as the weeks pass, making this farmers’ market the local treasure it’s been for years. Stop by, browse, say hello, and support the Hunterdon Land Trust while you do!

My Date with AI: Some Words About Self-Publishing from My Ghost Writer Robot
Why Self-Publishing is a Great Option for Authors
As a writer, you have a lot of options for getting your work out there. You can go the traditional publishing route, but that can be a long and difficult journey. There’s also the option to self-publish. While it might seem daunting at first, self-publishing can be an incredible option for many authors. Here are just a few of the reasons why.
Control
One of the biggest benefits of self-publishing is the control you have over your work. You get to decide how your book looks, what it says, and how it’s marketed. This can be an incredible opportunity for authors who are tired of struggling to get their voice heard in the traditional publishing world. With self-publishing, you get to take control of your career and your work.
