I have long suffered from decision paralysis when I am left to my own devices. If I am not currently intensely focused on finishing a project like TrackStacks, solo free days when Megan is at work or off with friends can often turn into a stressful, mind-spinning free fall of indecision. I’m pretty sure I […]
When The Pets Are Gone.
Despite freedom from work, a lot of plans are put on hold until when the pets are gone.
Don’t Know What You Got Til It’s Gone
SDJ #71626 Cinderella wasn’t kidding when they sang “Don’t Know What You Got Til It’s Gone.” I used to only apply this thought to pseudo-heartbreak from failed relationships. But it is so much easier to appreciate all things once you no longer have them around. I have a few examples; A pain-free shoulder. (Sub shoulder […]
The Slow Demise of the Drunken Journals
The Drunken Journal may be nearing extinction. It’s rare to reach the proper state required for a proper drunken journal these days.

The IPA of Friendship (Day 2)
It’s inevitable after college that the people you spent most of your time with likely scatter across the country and you will realistically only get together a handful of times in the years that follow. High school friends are an extra layer of scatter away having already gone to different universities. Maintaining long distance friendships […]
Time Still Marches On Faster Than I’d Like (day 1)
November already. Starting today, I will be posting something daily. Let’s call it a 30 day challenge. For some reason, I can have an extremely productive morning yet feel like I didn’t accomplish anything.
