Hello, world

I’m starting this blog after getting laid off from my job!

[ETA, May 2020]: I’m launching this blog a couple years after getting laid off from my job!

Don’t worry, it’s cool. It was a good job with a great company — but overall this is a relief, because I was going crazy. I’d fallen into the position after my previous employer went belly-up, and before all that, I was a lobbyist for nearly a decade.

I’ve always loved writing, and now I want to turn it into a career.  So on this website, my intentions are to….

• Keep my writing and observation skills sharp.
• Discuss things, with people. Share & listen.
• Find freelance writing work.
• Talk about myself, duh. (I mean, you admittedly have to be at least a little self-indulgent to start a blog)

To close, here are my two cats, Gus & Bébé. All three of us send you our love.
