I’ve been swimming in mental muck... ergo my lack of content... but I’m trying to resume my place in the long line of “normal” humans”... as we inch through the turnstiles toward... well, where ARE we

My oldest son and I am on spontaneous road trip to the Gulf of Mexico… Coastal Texas. We are camping on the beach at Padre Island national seashore… The government shutdown has not affected us very much…

I try not to formally work on weekends very often… But I’m planning a last-minute adventure with my 19-year-old son who still has some time off from his college Christmas break... So I need to work ahead
