Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. It’s traditionally a day associated with love, romance, and of course, a ancient saint from Roman times. I have mixed feelings about the day and always have. On one hand, it’s an over-commercialized day filled with a bunch of expectations and hype and let downs. But on the other hand, it’s […]

Sky
I love looking at the sky. I have always been a cloud watcher. I have always watched for raptors soaring and various birds in formation. I have watched planes landing or taking off from the nearby airport. I have watched many a storm go by, illuminating the skies with spectacular light shows. I have watched […]
Spring is coming
Though it’s been a bit chilly the past few days here in Iowa, there’s a bit of a change in the air. The days are getting longer. It’s no longer after dusk when I come home from my full time job after five in the evening. I am able to marvel most days at the […]
Research

What Ifs
I constantly have some sort of a story going on in my head. It’s been a lifelong thing. I joke that I hear “voices” in my head but the “voices” I hear are bits of stories. It has always been this way for me. I am always carrying on a running monologue in my brain, […]
