I felt it starting Wednesday night. Thursday I woke up with a gravely voice and an overwhelming sense of...meh. By the time I got off of work on Thursday I felt completely wasted and wrecked. Friday I woke up feeling even worse. I ended up calling out and spending the day watching Top Gear firmly planted on … Continue reading Sick and Tired

Is 2016 over yet?
Did you know that 2016 is being forecast to be the longest year in recent history? Scientists are now speculating that 2016 will last up to three years in length due to formerly unsuspecting forces such as vitriol, bloviating, and even some wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's an election year here in the United … Continue reading Is 2016 over yet?
Life & Recap
It's been quite a week. Pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Trainig, which is always exciting. The weather has been insane, with temperatures in either the 80's or the 60's and some rain to boot! My little family has been pretty sick, and my work load is in for some new challenges. It's always nice … Continue reading Life & Recap

On Sunday I posted about our digital footprint and how we should protect our information (Do You Know Where Your Data Is?).

I have always had a lot of friends, people that I was close to, talked to, hung … Continue reading Where did all our friends go?
That Woman: Part 3 of a Story
For Part 1 and Part 2. The Sadness and Mr. Williams I had lied. Not about a lot, but a couple of little ones sprinkled through. It made the story better if I left out a couple of parts. Like not telling Barry I had already gone to Vegas for a lost weekend, and forgotton most … Continue reading That Woman: Part 3 of a Story
Sometimes
Sometimes it happens without you realizing it. All of a sudden you look up and see that you haven't written in 2 weeks and that you have been fairly distant, and have tried to keep people at arm's length. That maybe, just maybe, you're fighting some depression. Having a bout of depression doesn't always mean … Continue reading Sometimes
