Random thoughts on Album #4

It’s been a while. Sometimes I wonder if blogs are even a thing anymore…

To Fail or… is it really?

Excerpt from my iPhone.

As the adrenalin ebbs for a moment, I am writing this on my phone as I sit outside and try to gather my sanity. This is the first time in a week that I’ve actually had a chance to take a real honest to goodness, not sit at my desk monitoring the……
