In addition to that, writer's block is a real bitch.
Be here again real soon... as I've plenty to say.

About Me
- dmappin
- Over the course of the past six years I have spent a great deal of it serving our nation in the Middle East (in Kuwait and Afghanistan). I am a dad, a brother, a son, a Sailor, a former high school U.S. History teacher (go BHS!), a mentor and a friend. I enjoy entirely too many hobbies with way too little time to act upon them all. Since returning home in March 2009, I have been in search of gainful employment. Believe me, I have found that nearly impossible here in my hometown. I currently work part-time at our local Barnes & Noble Booksellers. I love the job, I just wish it were one where a person could make a decent living. That said, the people there are awesome! Come see me sometime! Life here in South Bend, IN, has its pluses and its minuses. I have recently realized that friends and family are to be cherished above all else--yeah, yeah I always knew that, but having been in the Middle East for so long I have seen how lucky, how spoiled and how privileged we are as Americans. I have also learned we are an opinionated lot with many people who are unable or unwilling to see beyond their own sensibilities.
We will be here when you are ready.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more, Doug. And yes, we know just how hectic it's been for you!
