2022 Wrap-Up
1. What did you do in 2022 that you’d never done before? I separated from the Navy! Saw the Grand Canyon! Had a whole month off, where I did a lot of traveling! Started a new job at a major academic center! 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more […]

Southwest Apocolypse
After a great extended weekend in San Diego, SMS and I were sitting outside with his parents eating lunch. We knew our flight was slightly delayed, but were enjoying some extra sunshine. Until SMS looked down at his phone, looked up, and said, “Our flight’s cancelled.” Within the next 15 minutes or so, we figured […]

Moving Day(s)
After several months of back-and-forth on what to do (rent vs buy), SMS and I have moved to a brand-new rental apartment. It’s very freeing to have made a decision and it makes me feel a little more established in my post-Navy, mid-career transition life. I’m also excited to have my stuff but before I […]

I took in the balcony view and then we headed into Pensacola via Rte 399. This leads to a National Park Service undeveloped beach […]

Travel Day
Travel day! SMS and I are off to the Florida panhandle where we will miss the tropical storm and possibly toss a mullet (I.e. toss one of the local fish in a “mullet toss” which I actually think is only in February)! We are meeting up with most of my nuclear family for an early […]

I voted!
After some procrastination, I finally read up on the candidates last night and filled out my ballot. I dropped it off at a secure drop-off box outside the local police station. I trust it more than the mail. It was raining this morning, so I felt extra tough and dedicated in getting my vote to […]

Missed a day?!?
It looks like I missed a day? This is being added on 11/7 and backdated, but I really thought I had written every day. Saturday got away from me. Ooops! I will carry on.
