  • by

As a reader, you already know I haven’t been writing much. The end of the semester is winding down, which means work has been busy. Too, the political climate has me lying low with writing, because I want this site to be one of (mostly) positivity.

Projects and Ponderings Galore

I’ve had a decent mix of exploring, creating, and relaxing since I got settled down here. The ratio has probably been a little heavier on the exploring and relaxing components.

But I’ve started working on some projects I’ve had in mind too.Read More »Projects and Ponderings Galore
