Ahead

I have found myself pondering my future more and more in the past several months. Perhaps its the sense of freedom or light at the end of the tunnel. It is a different experience being in this place, one that does not know where I am going to be in the next year, but I [...]

The Biohazard Zone

So day 1… and all is well in the quarantine zone. Never mind that it is 12:30 a.m. and I am sitting watching 3..2..1..Penguins for the sixth time in the past three hours. Yes each disk is 30 minutes long and I am on the sixth repeat. Someone help me now. I don’t think I can [...]
