First post!

Hello all. This is my first post to this semi-random blog! Exciting, I know. My intention is to post my thoughts and writings here. I have a few different fiction pieces that I've written. A little about me: I'm married to an amazing woman who cooks incredible food and sometimes posts her recipes here. We have been on many adventures including a stint out in Missoula, MT for about six months where we somehow came out unscathed and with all of our limbs attached. Through blinding snow we made our way back to the Portland area without too many mishaps. We settled in Portland/Vancouver to rest and recuperate in preperation for our next adventure, Seattle.

I guess it's really sort of only half an adventure. See, my wife was accepted to study Physics at the University of Washington (awesome, I know right?), but you know how everyone is talking about how the economy is bad and the job market is brutal, and well, it really is. So the dynamic duo has been temporarily split. We couldn't afford for me to quit, so I'm stuck in my Dad's basement (insert nerd joke here) during the week and drive up on the weekends.

I think that brings us up to date for the most part. Currently, I'm studying to be an Actuary and will be attempting to live university life over again through Deanne as she starts classes :-D I've always enjoyed literature and philosophy (probably why I majored in philosophy) and it has influenced my writings for as long as I can remember. I tend to do a lot of experiment with formatting and long paragraphing. However, seeing as this is an electronic format, I will try to break things up so it is easier to read. Hopefully, you enjoy reading what I post here and please leave comments!

TL;DR: Hi, welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy reading my fiction, adventures and misadventures. Please comment generously. And here is a recent photo of my wife and I:
