This Is Life
Stop waiting for something to happen! This is your only shot!
Phillipians 4.13. Read it. It seems my blogs only come after a time of weakness or pain in my life. For this I am sorry to those few who will read this in the course of history. It makes me feel like I'm using Edenderrce.org to vent, and perhaps I am. However, maybe in my foolishness and eventual recognition and removal of this someone will find a shred of help. I'm not a great guy. I'm not being modest. I'm really not....

How I got out of the box and past the wall
Recently, I died a little. Both literally and metaphorically. I came home from America, meeting old friends, checking some stuff, and sadly, discovering I was terribly allergic to cats.
