June 19, 2022: Going Back to Vegas
So the first of my two trips happened on Father’s Day; Happy belated Father’s Day by the way to all who want to accept that well wish. We deserve it, well, most of us do, hopefully. I can’t speak for … Continued
June 17, 2022: Getting Personal
In order to get back, I need to get personal. Why have I fallen behind? Yeah, I can talk about what’s been going on in my life, as if you care. The world doesn’t stop, so there’s plenty of stuff … Continued
June 16, 2022: Getting It Back

June 6, 2022: One Man Down
As I catch up this week, I feel like there will be a theme. For this installation, let’s start with Joe Girardi. Familiar name around these parts, but the reason we’ll talk about him today is because he was the … Continued
