A quick insight to my world, 500 words (or less) at a time!
I know what you’re thinking. Here we go again, am I right? At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the content was flowing. I had worked on a lot of posts and had several ready to go, so all I had to do was publish to the website. Then the…
About ten years ago, a couple of friends and I made our way to Davis-Kidd Booksellers to a book signing. Tucker Max had just released his second book, Assholes Finish First. All of us had read his first book, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, and wanted to get a copy of the second…
I landed in Copenhagen on January 2, 2019. This was my first stop on my two-week tour of Europe. I chose Copenhagen because I had been listening to a series by Steve Berry. The protagonist is a former U.S. spy that is retired to Copenhagen and owns an antique bookstore near Højbro Plads. Even though…
July 12, 2019 I normally drove home on Friday’s when I was working in Knoxville, but this Friday, I was staying in town for a work function the next day. Since I didn’t have anything going on, I decided to hit up Whittle Springs Golf Course and take advantage of the nice afternoon to play…
PSA: Okay, I’m a slacker. I should have shared this content last year at this time, but I didn’t. I hope that even though it’s been over a year since I took this trip, you still enjoy the content. While I was in El Paso in July 2018 preparing for my Ukraine deployment, we were…

I’m not going to be cheesy and talk about having a vision for 2020. I’m just going to post the goals I’ve set for myself. There just happens to be 20 of them. I guess I’ll be a bit cheesy, but not completely. Personal: More time at home with the Wifey Spend more time with…
Married the love of my life The most amazing thing that made 2019 so spectacular happened in July. After completing my five-year plan, I married the love of my life, Jen. It was a magnificent ceremony and a phenomenal reception. There are plenty of photos available and there is also a video of the…
Deployment to Ukraine I understand that most of my time in Ukraine was during 2018, but I completed the deployment in 2019 that’s why it is on this list. The opportunity I had to experience the Ukrainian culture and travel around Europe was just unbelievable. It was an experience that I’ll probably never have again…
Began Purge Process During the last couple of months this year, we decided to start purging from our mass of stuff. This is in preparation for something you’ll read about later, but we have good reason to start this process and continue it through next year. Listened to or read 25+ books I’m not a…
