I haven’t had words

The past years have been rough. Abandoned for with no sensible explanation by my former partner. A child I helped raise removed from my life for no reason save for the bitterness of venom. And the few times I was moved to write my true emotions was met with a conceited letter from a lawyer. […]

Big changes (video!)

A lot has changed since my most recent post here. I’m divorced again. But I don’t want to peddle in personal drama as some are wont to do. If you want the details, be a close friend and ask me in private. Anyway, I’m now untethered, I work fully remotely at a rewarding job, and […]

Secure

I’m on the way to Houston to see my sweetie, waiting at my gate, and it’s strange to think how normal it felt to shuffle through the security theater. Everyone goes through the motions. Do we even remember why we take shoes off anymore? Are they truly a threat?The x-rays scattered all over me, but […]

Space

I’ve been thinking about space lately. Actually, I think about space all the time. I’m kinda obsessed. I’m writing about it today because Commander Chris Hadfield is leaving the ISS today. He’s been living an adventure for five months, and he has been gracious enough to share his thoughts while in space, and he’s been […]

GUEST POST – I knew a man of few words

Run

It’s been raining a lot here lately. We certainly need it after years of drought, but it seems to be coming all at once. I’m fortunate to be in Iowa, because my homestates of South Dakota and Minnesota are getting pummeled by the same system, though they’re receiving it in the form of enormous amounts […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Hey guys, just thought I’d dedicate this day to Mother’s Day. I know how it sometimes sneaks up on us all, but I made sure to be ready this time. What are you doing for Mother’s Day this year? I think something more than just chocolates or flowers or cards should cut it. I’ve got […]

Fever

I’m recovering from my illness, so I’m going to say very little today and instead take a nap. My woman and I were doing some traveling out in the Denver area, and we both came home with some kind of sickness. We each had different symptoms, so it probably wasn’t the same thing. I blame […]

Not Gonna Try the Vegemite

Quick update. In Sydney. Beautiful out here. Will write more when I get back.
