I recently threw a pair of shoes away. It was an old pair of gray and white Converse. The shoes were worn through in many spots and had taken on an orange hue to them. It made me remember how it got that orange hue from Robbins Field here, in Paso Robles where Sam played baseball … [Read more...]
The Things We Put Down
I don’t remember the last time I shot my bow. It’s been at least a few months but I went out there and shot it a couple of days ago. This was something I used to do pretty much daily. First off, I shot at a closer distance than I normally would because it’s been so long. Second, … [Read more...]

I have tried to implement "saying no" more often in my life and it never went very well. It didn’t go well because I couldn’t follow through. The reasons behind why it didn’t go well have something to do with wanting to be helpful, being afraid to say no, and at times thinking … [Read more...]
