Folks find it strange that I travel to and from my Reserve duty in uniform. In this week’s case, I didn’t have an official appointment as soon as I landed; I didn’t have to report to duty as soon as I landed either. Nonetheless, I have found it beneficial in so many ways. 1.) Air … Read more
This is what happens when I rent from Avis for the first time in over 10 years!

As promised, Part II of my devious plan to conquer the world. I mean, my paperwork! I need to look into storage options for my photos, videos and these soon-to-be-scanned-in papers.

…at least that’s the plan here…. Now that I have a handsome new office, I was hoping to work on bettering the family’s reliance on stacks of paperwork everywhere.
