The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. We took a vacation to “The Keys” this week and unfortunately vacations have to come to an end.

A year ago I jokingly wrote a blog about all the things that has happened to me on my birthday. With the last event being the pandemic starting depending on who you ask on the 13th of March. This year I can add the 2nd vaccine to the list. We have learned alot about this … Continue reading One Year Later
Today is my wife Rebecca’s birthday. I’ll dispense with the age.
