    Hello and good evening, all! Apologies for the very, very late edition! I’m still adjusting to the new work schedule, and have not quite found my groove yet. Normally, I would run through the roll call, but as I am already very late, I am going to jump right into the proceedings. Please forgive this…

    Good day to all and welcome to Wednesday! We’ve hit the halfway mark once again. Hopefully you’ve all made it through relatively unscathed. I, for one, did not. 😄 I got my first official “war wound” at work yesterday. I was working in an tightly enclosed silo, and at one point, backed into a piece…

    Screw you, WP. I’ll list as many as I want. 😋 The Agoge A few weeks back, I started a little personal experiment to get back in shape, to become more mindful, and to reinvigorate my reading and writing habits. While it’s not been perfected yet, it has been an improvement, and I will continue…

    In the interest of keeping it PG, I’ll just say my favorite way to workout is good old fashioned iron. 😄 While I do enjoy push-ups and other calisthenics, my favorite things will be barbells and dumbbells. Something about picking up heavy shit just speaks to my inner gorilla. Call me a meathead if you…

    No Theme Thursday I remember hugging my family goodbye, not knowing what awaited me. I remember sitting on the tarmac in the dead of night. I remember seeing a Budweiser vending machine in Germany and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I remember the first time my feet touched the desert sand and thinking…

    No Theme Thursday entry. Sometimes I wonder What’s beyond that horizon? Sometimes I wonder Is there more out there? Sometimes I wonder What could I have done better? Sometimes I wonder Would it even matter? Sometimes I wonder Were we chasing an impossible dream? Sometimes I wonder Did she find what she was looking for?…

    A bit of a rant. We’ll start with the summary. So, this week was mostly ups with a few minor hiccups. Started the new job Tuesday, and overall, it went well. Everyone thus far has been very cool and seems to like the place. Even the grouchy employees acknowledge that the place is pretty good,…

    Well, my first two days went pretty well. Woke up this morning and felt a little off. Took me awhile to get my ass moving to get ready for work. By the time I got there, I started feeling hot, and about 35 minutes later, I was nauseous as hell. As much as I didn’t…
