ByRon P. SchweryOctober 10, 2024

I am not big on anniversaries. It’s not that I don’t care but for some reason remembering dates is hard for me and they usually have a tendency to sneak up on me. Thankfully social media helps in this regard but, unless it is in the immediacy of my house, I still

It has been a looong time since I have taken the time to write. Mostly because I have been busy with my actual job, side projects and a change to the kids’ school schedule, but honestly one of the biggest factors was the war in Ukraine. It caught me so off guard
