American Discovery Trail candidate here [enter “deep breath” emoji here]!I guess I’m a WEBO, though at times I’ll also be an EABO and then back to a WEBO (with a touch and dab of NOBO and SOBO now and again). Cool, love the vernacular! Appropriate, the tongue twisting, as I think I may have lost my mind. No worries, that’s what AI is for these days! So here we are…I was born in a place and a time some too many years ago. Some crazy stuff happened (some good, a little great, a fair bit terrible…the emoji that does that “eeehh” thing, plus the head tilted, laughing/crying one). And [one more deep breath] here we are…again! I’m a good many things (writer, artist, educator, ill-planner…and some other stuff I can sometimes remember). I write as a praxis of living and live as a praxis of writing…I’m a dreamer, the kind that equates magic and science and then goes to grad school (more than once!) to prove it. I’m grounded, I’m aware…I’ve been there. As for the rest, I’ll have time to share. I’m gonna be out here awhile (re-enter the aforementioned emojis). And before I get tired and forget…I appreciate ya’ll for being here! Cool, let’s do it!!

In a lot of ways that’s how this feels, as I now sit in an upper deck seat staring out the window of an eastbound train...
The ADT: On the Eve
The truth is I’m a lot of things, insincere not amongst them. For what it’s worth, with me you get me as I am. I know the course I’m about to walk, the challenges I am certain to face...
American Discovery Trail: Imminent Departure!
No worries, I feel like the hardest part is over (he says in that gasping for breath, laughing sort of way!). After all, I made an absolute decision that will impact every second of every day for the foreseeable future. I made that decision, as I often do, in an instant.
