Snapshot of now

This post is a view of what some things look like in my life currently. I’m in a great relationship with a wonderful woman named Dawn. I call her Denny. That will be a story for another time. We have been seeing each other for maybe 5 years. She has three kids. Grant 13, Grace 11, Gabriele 8. We designate them G1, G2, and G3 respectively.
Dawn’s mother Kathryn passed away shortly after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. She received the diagnosis at the end of October and passed at home 15 days later. Her hope was to make it until Thanksgiving but it wasn’t meant to be.
I have two sisters and a brother. Tammy and her family are in Oklahoma. Sandy and Don are in Illinois and are snowbirds that’s winter in Arizona. Brian is in Illinois and occasionally works winter in Mississippi. My dad has been residing in a memory care unit for over a year. His health is great, sadly his memories are inconsistent. My son Zac lives in North Carolina near his mother.
I recently returned to my job as an airline mechanic with United Airlines. I was furloughed from UA shortly after the events of 9/11 and I returned just in time to experience the Covid 19 pandemic.

The start of this blog

I am beginning this blog because I wish for a place to log my “Thoughts, Rants, and Observations”. I don’t expect many, if any, visitors here. I may or may not share this site with anyone. My intention is to use it as a record of things I wish to vocalize, such as experiences, musings, thoughts, memories, etc.  This will be totally random as I find time or actually remember to add content here. There will be no theme. There may be things that upset or piss folks off. I assure you it is not intended this way but my thoughts will be honestly my own and genuine. I will share things I like, things and people important to me, and experiences that have influenced me. As a human I have a story and I feel it is interesting, although I do not expect others to think so. Everyone has a story and most do not take the time to hear others tell theirs. I look forward to sharing mine.
