  • I’m Not as Old as My Hobbies Seem

  • Another “Get Off My Lawn” Rant

    If you could un-invent something, what would it be? I’m a child of the 90s. I guess I’m considered a Xennial. So help me do not call me a Millenial! That is a 4-letter word to me. Xennial is supposedly the people who grew up in the analog world and became an adult in the…

    I’ve written before about going back and reading all of my journals. I’m doing something important with them. But in order to do that, I had to get all of them out of the foot locker/trunk that I have kept them in since I first went to college. In that trunk was a collection of…
