Portland, Oregon: The Endgame
T-minus 80-something days till my wife and I make the trek down to SoCal. We’ll be there for at least a year, but hopefully (depending on my job situation…and hers) we’ll be there for a few more. But finally knowing that we’ll be leaving, and there actually being a real date for the move,...
I Wish I Were A Sociopath
…not a psychopath, a sociopath. I don’t want to be manipulative, just less encumbered by my empathetic ways.

Long Time, No Write…
So…just some advice for novice bloggers: If you want to completely neglect your website/blog, just get engaged. Actually, not only get engaged, but try to be as involved as possible b/c your future-spouse is juggling a tough job and traveling a bit here and there. Dedication, homes. I miss you. I miss writing. But, I...
