This post marks my annual entry, which commemorates the accident on May 30, 2005, when I sustained a traumatic brain injury after I fell 30 feet. I have consistently written on the day of the “anniversary,” but I did not […]
I turned 37 years old on Friday, February 19. The number is awkwardly close to 40. That cannot be, can it? Let’s review the facts: I am only 3+ years into my career; I live in the same shoebox-sized apartment […]
