Life If you’re a man at all oh, I will figure this one out on my own Shawshank, November 19, 2023 It’s dark. It was dark when we went to bed, and it’s dark when we wake up. Winter is coming.

Life When I wake up in the morning and the clock lets out a warning Shawshank, November 14, 2023 Good morning everyone. It’s a dark morning out there. And windy, but it seems to be somewhat warm out there. Which is nice. Maybe the wind will die down during the day. We’ll find out. It’s Tuesday morning. Only a few more shifts at work, and I’m on a vacation…. Continue Reading
