Daily Prompt 9/25/24
There are so many times where I’ve felt out of place. In fact, I think I have felt out of place more than I have felt included. But for this prompt, I’ll talk about my first day of 7th grade as a new kid at a middle school where 5 elementary schools funnel together and…

Surprise Trips
Tomorrow is my 3rd anniversary with my wife! I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already. It feels like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye. Some days have been long, but for the most part the time has flown by ridiculously fast. Last year we celebrated with her surprising me with a…

Pieces of me
Going to my last ever (as we know it) college reunion this past weekend was one of the most defining moments of my adult life. It felt important to go because I knew so many people that were also going, but I also wanted to take the time to savor the moments I had there.…

I disappeared
I had to disappear for awhile. Not in my “real life”, but away from my blog and from the hard things I fight in my head. I’m still not 100% over whatever it is that has been bothering me, but today I decided I was ready to come back. I am not sure if it’s…

Daily Prompt 1/22/24
Haha, again with questions that ask you to potentially reveal too much information about your location. So I will go with Cedar Point, which is an amusement park that isn’t too far from where I am. I love rollercoasters and big rides that are almost dangerous. I used to be a big fan of Disney…

Daily Prompt 1/12/24
I have taken so many road trips that I don’t really have any one trip that stands out as more memorable than any others. I have traveled from NY, where I spent my childhood, to Canada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and other places I can’t…

Daily Prompt 1/11/24
I do love this question, which is rare for me. I usually dislike the prompts or find them poorly written, but I like this one. If I won the lottery, I would not become rich. First I would start a foundation to help people but for what, I have no idea. Something education, sports opportunities,…

the year ahead
This year is off to a great start. I feel really inspired and happy so far. I’m eagerly awaiting the stsaff applications to open for the camp I want to work at, lacrosse practice starts this week, and I feel energized. That’s rare for me this time of year, as I’m usually down and sad…

My favorite places
Yesterday I arrived at one of my most favorite places in the US. Washington, DC! I was once deployed to this area for 7 months to support the defense of the National Capital Region back in 2011. It was a great experience where I lived at a hotel and worked a goofy schedule that gave…

Daily Prompt 7/26/23
Greece. I would want to go to Greece with my wife. There’s no question about where to go, but the when would be challenging. The school year starts soon and although there are people here who could step in, I really think that it’s a bad plan to disrupt the development of a routine so…
