Remember 2019? Me neither. Let’s fix that (for August-December, anyway).

February 2021 in 28 seconds
Here’s February 2021 in 28 seconds, like I did last month and last year!
Flying down a mountain on 2 wheels
One thing I’ve learned about having fun is it’s best to risk one’s life to achieve it, and it must be preceded by excruciating toil. So, Jody, Jim Bob, my wife, and I all bought full suspension aluminum mountain bikes recently, and I met my 2 friends from childhood just […]
January 2021 in 31 seconds
Just as I did every month of 2020, I’m continuing to download and publish a second of every day in 2021. Here’s January:
St. Thomas and Virgin Islands National Park
Right before December concluded, we flew down to St. Thomas, exited the American Airlines 737, walked a few paces across the tarmac, showed some locals our negative Covid test results on my wife’s phone, and entered the Cyril E.

Military Service Made Me a Better, More Resourceful Parent
Check out this post I wrote for City Dads Group! Happy Veterans Day !
Columbus Day weekend on the Golden Isles
Every year since passing the Georgia Bar in 2004, I’ve attended the annual workers’ compensation continuing legal education seminar at Saint Simons Island, with the only exception being 2007, when I was keeping you comfortably sleeping under that blanket of freedom you enjoy every night whilst I got mortared over […]
