I’m a retired federal worker, retiring just as the craziness in the government was getting a foothold. Many of us left the federal workforce for the exact fear we have seen happen in 2025 with all the guardrail’s removed. Feel so sorry for my federal brethren, they didn’t deserve to have their lives upended for a show of political promises coming true. Unfortunately, was just that, a show! It accomplished nothing toward deficit reduction and instead has made the bureaucratic process worse. I hope this nation survives the retribution of a madman.
I’m married with five adult children and eight grandchildren. They are the joys of our life, but our passions are traveling, remodeling, and finding our way independently of the normal path. We left the beautiful state of Colorado to move and establish ourselves in East Texas. I have the majority of my extended family members within hours of home and we take full advantage of emerging ourselves into the lives and friendships we have here.
I love all of the usual outdoor sports one might imagine in Colorado, but what does a guy do with fly fishing equipment living in bass and crappie country? Adapt!!! We enjoy all aspects of lake living and finally purchased a boat we try to be on at least a couple days a week.
Daily morning coffee with my mid-eighties father is my personal indulgent and I’d encourage everyone to try and experience this. I know more about my father than the sixty previous years combined. What a treat to find out your hero is also a man full of regrets, loves, and anxieties like the rest of us. I also had the pleasure of working alongside him in the federal government, which provides plenty of morning conversations as many of the people we both knew have passed and as they do, we remind ourselves of the memories we shared with them.
I began writing over forty years ago. No formal training but have gained knowledge throughout the years. I don’t profess to be any more than I am, a simple man with an opinion often mumbled under my breath. I hope you enjoy my cynicism and twisted look at life, love, family, and of course the political landscape of America and the rest of the globe.
Thanks for taking a moment of your day to listen to me, I’m humbled by your interest.
