Real Life in Beaufort South Carolina

Amidst the storm that is current civilization, days aren’t wanting in pontification or deficient in opinion. For a self proclaimed introvert with an ample social schedule there is little escape and solace is a rarity. As much as my mouth wishes to contribute both my opinion and my frustration, my...

From time to time I tip toe around those closest to me through my writings, often to best explain my circumstance, lovingly joke at family attributes or define my oddities through the eyes of those that know best. Filtered and with hesitant hands I type words that fail to paint the portrait clear...

Day in and day out we mumble familiar terms, talk in circles and sound like robots from the planet real estate. We get so comfortable, often complacent, about our most important of duties.
