“Life’s a journey, not a destination…” “Amazing” by Aerosmith I sometimes forget to remind myself of this. It’s something that has been with me since the first time I heard this song in the 90s. It’s true and very important for me to remember when I am getting all intense about something that really isn’t…

All the things that are “impolite” to discuss like politics, religion, current events, delicate situations, and other things like science, technology, people’s life stories, and funny things that seem to be universal.

I never want to visit Antarctica. It’s simply too cold. There’s also a ton of really hot places I don’t want to visit. I prefer comfortable weather for walking around a bunch and wouldn’t have fun if I’m overheated or need to bring a gigantic amount of equipment just to be outside in an extremely…

Yesterday I wrote all about Boy #1 and questioned his work ethic. The positive thing he did for me was talk to me last night and make me see him through his heart. Everything he said made me question our way of life in this country, my past, and my future. For him, it’s not…

I just want to be happy, with my wife, and everyone I…
