As you get older, you begin missing things you either once could do because of physical capability or miss it due to innocence you had as a kid. Might even be from naivety, I know there were plenty of things I didn’t understand when younger that I do now. Probably what I hate most is…
Making it happen. A simple statement of a matter of fact nature. Yet also one of the hardest things to make yourself do. First you have to define what it is. It for me, for the longest of time, has been to become a writer. This blog is a minor attempt to fulfill that dream….
For the last couple of years, I have noticed that my driving skills have degraded somewhat. Heck, everything about me has degraded to some degree. As we all say as we are getting older, “It sucks getting old”. It does really suck because my mind is as clear as ever except that I can’t remember…
