Enough
A friend of mine posted on social media today that he’s having a hard time with this whole military retirement thing. Like he’s not sure if he’s done good enough as a commander and who is he without the military. This is the way most of us feel when it’s the end of our time…

Deep thoughts
I’m still thinking about Oppenheimer deep in my brain. It was so intense and there were some parts that I understood so deep in my soul. There were things that scared me and made me feel better and made me wish I was still in the military, even though I was over it by the…

Another departure
My awesome barber/hair stylist and friend is leaving the area. It wasn’t what I wanted to hear. She recommended another person but…it’s not the same. I feel myself wanting to pull away and just let go completely. I don’t want to say goodbye. I don’t want to learn someone else. It’s hard not to feel…

The day money made me angry

I see you, Spider-Man
This is me, somewhere between 3-4 years old. I very vaguely remember these pajamas, but I do know without a doubt that I picked them out myself. I think the shirt fit much longer than the pants did because I grew fast in height at this age. I remember the shirt more than the pants,…

Why?
This morning I recorded a podcast with my dad. We get along all the time now, for the most part. He still sometimes says things that are annoying and he loves to talk. He loves attention more than anyone else I know. It used to make me so mad when it seemed like he was…

Monday morning
Today started way early. My wife has a meeting about two hours away and needed to get up at 5:30 to get there on time. I got her coffee ready and gave her a snack for the road. She left and I was too wired to even attempt to go back to bed. I actually…
