Greetings! Happy 2023! Wow, what a wild ride it's been. As we're continuing full-steam ahead through the 2020's, there's still a lot to be said about COVID and the end(?) of the pandemic.

Back From Vacation (and happy December)!
Greetings! I'm back from my long trip! I've been home for about a week now, and in that time, I've been resting at home (to recover from COVID, which sadly I got during my vacation) and otherwise returning to work.

Back From Vacation!
Howdy! I came home this past weekend, after a short, one-week vacation. This was the first time I've properly traveled since 2019, and I'm really glad that it finally happened. It was just a domestic trip, specifically a road trip through three US states: Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. I went with my dad, and together, …
On Vacation…
Howdy, folks! It's a long time coming, but after over two years of COVID-19 and uncertainty, I'm going on my first trip outside of my state! I'd spent the previous year at home, with the occasional jaunt to another part of my home state, but this time, it'll be an extended road trip outside of …
I’m Fully Vaccinated!
