Unsettled
In Florida for a few weeks after a cross-country move but feeling unsettled. I cannot relax, I cannot enjoy. I am a spectator with no interests or motivation to pursue any of my go-to hobbies.
Exadelic
The world’s most powerful artificial intelligence machine has decided you are a threat and is targeting you. From there, anything goes. I’d give this a 3 out of 5 stars because 3/4 through and the novel has lost it’s way…

The Book Finds You
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” — Haruki Murakami Picture yourself walking through the halls and shelves of a vast library. Among the endless rows of…
Self Care
After months of traveling on the road for work, poor nutrition habits and then stop working, my body has had enough. I've crammed the 15 pounds lost last year back inside. My blood pressure has suffered. The clothes are tighter.…

Time Travel
Shooting landscape photography forces you to get outside and find the beauty around you. Sometimes this means discovering places right in front of your eyes that you just never noticed were beautiful before. Other times this means exploring new places…
Strict Tolerance
Be strict with yourself and tolerant of others. Your standards are for you.
