Productivity. That is the word of the day. I awoke, packed my lunch, ate breakfast, and drove to work. At work, I stayed busy, labored outside, and earned my wages. So far, an average day. When I finished earning my wages, I returned to my abode. I treated myself to a popsicle, then headed to the garage. There, I sorted through six storageContinue reading “Productivity”

College
Today, I went back to college. Normally I love college. I mean, in the past, college has felt like home. I’ve felt comfortable there. I gobbled up any knowledge the professors were willing to give.

It’s just a jumbled mess, a hodge-podge of random happenings. There is no rhyme, no reason. Before dusk yesterday, my wife and I took our dog on aContinue reading “Sunset Discussions”
34 (Part 6)
Thirty-four hours, in a packed car, with a large dog in the passenger seat. That was the setting. That was my solitary confinement. I know I said I was getting sick of telling you about my drive, and I was. But I feel like I should share one last thing.
