in 2016 I was contemplating looking for new work and mostly abandoned this site. in 2017 I moved from Iowa to Virginia, then Maryland, and am now back in Iowa. somewhere in there I just let this webpage expire and go offline. I wasn’t working on it and - well why pay to have it up here if nothing is getting posted? today as we approach the summer in 2024 here in Iowa the weather has finally gotten pleasant and everything is green.

I think I’ll start doing some writing here.

Now if only my roof didn’t leak…

Prince Humperdinck: First things first, to the death.

Westley: No. To the pain.

Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase.

Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.
