For a guy like me, that is searching desperately for something in his life, but is unsure what it is, the movie hits pretty hard. Without spoiling anything, the main plot is about a guy looking for meaning, … Continue reading A Good Year is not JUST a Good Year….
My life is not working out how I wanted. At the beginning of the year, when I was half way to 48 years old, I went to basic training for the military. Not only was I older than all of the other recruits, I was older than most of the training staff. Not what I … Continue reading My Life is a Mess
I follow a bunch of fitness Instagram pages, and I've noticed some things. Most of the time, when scrolling through pics the comments tend to be positive, though every now and then a comment jumps out at me.
