Life Simply having a wonderful Christmastime Shawshank, December 15, 2024 Got started a little later than normal. I was a slug and didn’t want to get out of bed due to the warmth it was providing to us. But soon or later I’d have to emerge from my cocoon. So I figured it was time, and my body lurched to life. It’s Sunday, and Crystal… Continue Reading
Life These things eat at your bones and drive your young mind crazy Shawshank, December 14, 2024 It’s finally my weekend! Worked and drove over semi-questionable roads to SlightlyBiggerTown and have returned full of Subway, and ready to play Persona 5 Royal. Then I remembered that I had to preach to the masses first.

People came in and had the most perfect timing… Continue Reading
Life Bridges gettin’ lower, the shrimp boats coming home Shawshank, December 10, 2024 It’s a cool dark morning out there. Thankfully, I’m inside. I probably would’ve frozen to death if I was outside all night. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light. I don’t think I even moved, after I rolled over. Work was a little slow yesterday. TinyTown was still… Continue Reading
