The morning of Wednesday, January 13, 2021, was glorious because, for the first time in more than sixteen years, I [kind of] ran! As I have previously mentioned, on May 30, 2005, I suffered a traumatic brain injury after I […]
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is a beaut. Dude was key in orchestrating President Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut bill. He couldn’t count the GOP members’ votes fast enough. In stark contrast, earlier this month, the old man blocked a […]
This week of quarantine/shutdown/PandemicLife was tough. I posted a short article about it on Medium.com. You can read it here. On Wednesday, I went to the dentist. I had not previously gone to this office; thus, I was forced to […]

Today is the summer solstice. It is the longest day of the year and the official first day of summer. On this day, twenty years ago, I was twenty-one years old and would have been living in Sea Isle City, […]
This morning during my walk, I saw something disturbing. A portion of the street around Philadelphia’s City Hall was blocked off. At least ten military vehicles were parked close by, and soldiers wearing sand-colored camo, helmets, and holding large machine […]
