Being the adventures of a historic recreationist

I am unashamedly apolitical. It's not that I don't care, it's just I only have so much energy to exert on the world.

After so many years of a job that had me so entrenched in world politics, I am done. It is very easy to become fed up when you have to schedule bathroom breaks around the latest coup. I no longer deal with that. When I left active duty, I considered going into the civilian sector in the same capacity. I looked at my family and decided they were more important to me.

I focus on trying to improve my little corner of the world. I recycle, economize, "victory" garden, support small, local business and generally try to be a good citizen. It brings me more joy and less stress than trying to save the world, one political coup at a time.
