This past week was a bad week for the United States. Granted there haven't been many great weeks in the past several years, but the decision of 6 people to deal human rights a devastating blow on June 24th made it a very bad week indeed.

Disclaimers: I’m creating a new category to be used as a dream journal. Based on historical evidence, it won’t get updated often because I don't remember my dreams very often.

Alice Oseman, Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell and the rest of the cast and crew are directly responsible for this amazing feeling that has come over me. The fact that it was unexpected makes... Continue Reading →
Wow! I guess we're doing this. Exciting stuff, huh? Thanks for stopping by. I'm not a professional blogger. All of this is new to me. This new website design, learning WordPress, writing for more than just myself, learning to be an active member of society again...all of it. Mistakes will happen. I'll get better at...
