Where have I been?
Last Thursday started as an average day, except I was really, really fatigued. I just remember feeling exhausted before I really got going that day. My wife and I ate lunch late because there was an event at her work that evening and we didn’t really have time to eat dinner before the event because…

Daily Prompt 8/29/23
I blog because writing is therapeutic for me. I sort so many things out while I write and think things through. I chose blogging as the format for this type of writing because I was not yet ready to share myself with my real world. The idea of anonymously putting myself out there seemed so…

A little experiment
For years I wanted to write a blog but I was scared of my own voice. Sometimes I would post something remotely controversial on my FB page, like the time I said for everyone to understand that representation matters when our VP was sworn in. Immediately old military co-workers jumped on it, saying things like…
