More driving thoughts

This morning, I’m driving to work with Oscar and thinking about my weekend. Monday morning is usually the time that I process everything that happened over the weekend and it was a pretty good one, it was filled with uncertainty of coarse and laughter and work and all the other things that make up a

Goals

It’s been some time since I’ve written. It’s not that I have not had anything to write about, I guess maybe it’s because I was trying to figure out exactly what direction I want this blog to go. I haven’t even taken any fresh pictures in weeks. It seems like I got back from vacation,

In the grand scheme of things, I have not really been alive all that long. 46 years is really just a blink of an eye. However, during my time here on this earth I have seen some changes. Some of the changes were good, and some of them just make me scratch my head and

“WE DO NEED A RETURN TO INDIVIDUAL INTEGRITY, SELF-RELIANCE, AND OLD-FASHIONED GUMPTION. WE REALLY DO.” ROBERT M. PIRSIG Right now, I’m doing a side job for someone that I know. The only time I have to do the work is at night after I get off work. So, from about 7 o’clock to 10 o’clock
