21. I’ll be home for Christmas, 2025

Hello 🙂  Happy New Year! Last year for Christmas, my niece put together one of those books where everyone says nice things about someone – for my mom.  I recently reread what I wrote. It’s probably too long and boring for most but I love it.  So, here it is, small stories […]

Hello 🙂  How are you?  Summer was nice. I watched the Olympics and remembered when I was seven I bet a friend that I would be in the Olympics one day. Dammit.  Anyway, I’m still working in the education department – the cover picture is of me and the guys I work […]

Hello Beautiful People!  The sun is shining and it seems I’ve made it through (the-winter-air-blowing-through-my-hair-at-night) winter 🙂 Oh glory Hallelujah!  How do you like the snake pics? Remember I told you about them last year? So funny.  The big news is that I’ve reached a milestone. Mark your calendar. I’ll be getting […]
18. Dec 2023 – February 2024

How are you? Me? Well, it’s been a rough winter. Long story short: they didn’t close the windows in front of my cell properly. So, (cold/rainy) winter air hits me 24/7. It’s like cave man survival and the guys who could fix it don’t care. Now, I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy so I’m also […]

Dear Friends and Family! This blog’s picture is from Christmas 2022. I love my Mom. Last term, for college, I took Sociology and Public Speaking and both went well. In Sociology I learned what “virtue signalling” means, and in Public Speaking I gave a speech about how to release trigger points in muscle. Last Friday, […]

Hello my Peeps 🙂 Did you see the pics? That’s me! Woohoo. And my gang. “The Thugs!” Jokes, they’re my work friends. How about the pond and trees? It looks pretty nice here doesn’t it…? WRONG! It’s, just OK. The garden is incredible but not open-access, and everything else is metal, concrete, spit, dirty-beige paint, […]
14. My Poem

Hello lovely people 🙂 I hope you’re doing amazing. Here’s that poem I said I would post, the one I wrote for class, which my mom and sister said I should post. Blush. Acting coy. OK, be warned, it’s pretty serious, but the assignment was serious: Harm begets harm. Rapdaddy out. — Forecast A wild […]
13. July – December 2022

Hello lovely people, How are you? I really hope you’re doing well. My guess is you’re doing OK – sometimes excellent, sometimes blah. If so, we are soul sisters, brothers, sons, friends. Yea ha! Let’s do this. A friend and I have been doing a routine called “8 Minutes in the Morning to a Flat […]
12. February 2022 – June 2022

Dear Friends and Family! Just after writing to you in January I got sick, and then again in February. They were doozies. I’m pretty sure January was Covid (again) and February’s came with some intense stomach cramps. At their peak, on a rainy Thursday night (mostly spent hugging the toilet) I was reduced to sobs. […]
