I'm back

 Hey gang!  How goes it.  Sorry to be awol for so long.  Work got to being very busy, taking more and more of my energy to deal with the ever-increasing stress of waiting on a hundred people a day during a pandemic.  Today, the infection rate in Albany is listed at 6.40%.  I decided to take another leave of absence from work, due to being high risk for Covid 19.  Right now, I'm just chilling, decompressing, and recovering.  Soon, I hope to get back to writing.  More Confessions soon.  Who knows what else?  See ya around.

Donna's Birthday Again

Just a note that today marks what would have been my sister's 60th birthday.  Sadly, she took her own life a year and a half ago.  I miss her everyday.  Hold your loved ones close while you can.  Peace.

Summer is Here

Summer is here.  Feels like it here in Albany, NY.  A sizzling start to the season.

Still super busy at work.

I've ranked the albums of some of my favorite bands, so that will be a thing that I'll be posting here soon.  Confessions still continues.  Um, what else?  Not much.

Happy Summer Solstice!  Peace to you, gentle reader.

Later,
