Thoughts On Uncle Tom’s Interview
When I sat down on the swing that day I was unsure how long I could take this interview. I was still new at this and each man was different. I think he asked me how we should start and I said simply start with your name and when you started your service. Literally that…

Elections Matter Once Again
Again Republicans did not do as well as they were supposed to do. It seems to be a trend. Why? Why were there not long lines like they were in 2016 and 2020. Granted this was not a Presidential Election, but does it take Trump to get the Republican base to really show up in…

Wound Report
Ms. Kodie is enjoying being spoiled. She even likes watching Christmas movies. Last night I slept well in my bed away from her. It helped with my allergy to have some space away through the night.

Do You Vote Today!
As a Hoosier who lives in the country, I don’t get to vote in the municipality election today. However, it is still Voting Day for many Americans. Two years ago we didn’t have quite the Red Wave that was predicted, but it still made for some stellar results. Not only did Virginia elect a Republican…

What was my favorite subject in school. Writing Prompt
Music, music and music. There was a moment in time where a few of us had to make a decision. We had to decide between Band or Choir we didn’t think we should have to make a decision between the two. For college purposes and classes we did have to make one, but it sucked…
