What Do You Want?
I am still working on being grateful. The problem as I see it is that there is always more to crave. The trick for me is realizing what parts of that “more” I actually want. My life works pretty well … Continue reading

When They Get You
The argument has been made that we all feel like outcasts sometimes. I am quite used to people not “getting” me. I am the quiet guy surrounded by music lovers. The old soul who works with twenty-somethings. The comic book … Continue reading
