Let’s look for the purple banana ’til they put us in the truck…

Written by Darian
Didn’t feel much like writing today. Not sure why, but just felt off. Probably because with my wife being away, everything feels off. I think part of it is that, like Roscoe, I didn’t have the time to reset...

Written by Darian
Back home – while it was a relatively short trip, it was exhausting. From the moment I got there it was go-go-go. Tuesday night, shortly after landing, I met up with a couple friends for dinner. It was a...

See some old friends, good for the soul…

Written by Darian
Everything is now set for my trip, and while I’m looking forward to seeing friends and family, I’m not too excited about being in California. If I have the time, I think I’m going to stop in and see...

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray…

Written by Darian

Strange as angels, dancing in the deepest oceans…

Written by Darian
