I Leave in a Week

I leave in a week.  I leave my current job at the end of March.  Ok, for you fact freaks it’s a little more than a week but I only have the time to do this now. I’ve worked here for over a decade.  I’ve enjoyed my time.  As with most jobs and most places I’ve [...]

Colorado -> New Mexico

A couple of weeks ago I took a drive.  I took a drive from Denver, Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I took a drive very similar to that Tom Petty song about Running down a Dream. Wait, my whole life is about running down a dream.  The problem is that I don’t actually know what [...]

BlackBody

I found you lying on the sidewalk and as soon as I saw you, laying there, I knew you had to be mine. I couldn’t believe someone could just throw you out, so cruelly, left [...]

Fragile Lives

I’m not exactly sure why but lately I’ve been thinking a great deal about how everything around us is so fragile or is it?

Cornwall cows

A few weeks ago I took a short drive around Cornwall. Cornwall is in the South West of England. To be honest I had vaguely heard of Cornwall before setting out to discover that part of England. What did I discover? Well not much. I saw mile after mile of roads surrounded [...]
