I watched the movie Snowden last night on Netflix. I probably should have gone to sleep but instead I watched it. Now you can say what you will about him and if what he did was right or not, etc. However, the underlying theme to the movie, and his story in general, is that he......

I said it was over. I know. I woke up, walked through the house and into my office around 515 this morning. Here I am peacefully sitting at my desk and Aiden comes in… “Dad, they killed a opossum and brought it inside.” – Ugh. This is not a, it is fine moment. There is......

Today is day 14. It has been two whole weeks of posting every single day. Look at that; we made it. I have alluded to this before but in March I wrecked on my OneWheel. I just started riding it again consistently, with a new wrist brace mind you, these past two weeks. And on......
