Of Sound Mind
I haven’t written in ages. I haven’t been able to. Why? This year has been extremely challenging. Lots thrown at me. Tested my abilities on just about everything. And in the end, I, well, lost it. It all started when I lost my job on January 31, 2025. Liked, but not loved what I was […]
Tacking On Another Year
Another year has flown the coop, and I feel like a bird with clipped wings. Although I feel great and still can pass for looking pretty good, I’m not sure about the road ahead.

What Follows
It’s a lovely May day. The sun is shining brightly and the temperature is absolutely perfect.
