  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 29

    I have a friend named Gene who has been working for years to make the world a better place. Slowly, steadily and most importantly, deliberately.

  • Don’t Shoot The Doctor!

    On CNN’s website, I just read two current articles about attacks on medical personnel in conflict zones around the world. I understand their outrage. After all, until quite recently, it was understood by all involved forces that medical facilities and personnel were off limits. It was an entry level piece of every professional soldier’s training.…
