Today is my anniversary. No, it’s not an anniversary of a relationship or buying a home or even survival, it’s an anniversary of an entirely different sort. Possibly, a new beginning. Maybe something as simple as one of choice. It was a decision that radically changed my life. Seven years ago today, I stepped on [...]

A local female recently remarked to me that I’ve been suffering from male PMS. I scoffed at the preposterous notion and emphatically denied any connection between my hormones and my mood swings in any form of the word. But the more I thought about it, the more strange, little coincidences were beginning to surface. Almost [...]

Born in the year of the Dragon, the author grudgingly accepts the fact he has too many interests and not enough time. A cyclist as long as he can remember, an avid yet inconsistent writer since age eleven, and a U.S. Marine since age twenty-one, the author also adds computers, snowboarding, and motorcycles to his list of interests. Incidentally, he is aware of his inability to make a living from any but the Corps. The author accepts this as fact and remains optimistic. Feel free to drop him a line.
