This week I released my latest short memoir. These stories have been a great way for me to process the things I did and saw while in Iraq. My hope is that they are also educational to a society which likes to glorify war.

I think I have at least one more short memoir about my time in Iraq before I switch gears and begin writing about our family's adoption process. That one may end up being a book. We'll see!

To check out my latest story go: here.

Latest Book I'm Enjoying

artistsjourney-188x300.jpg

"The Artist's Journey" by Steven Pressfield. If you are familiar with Pressfield's other works on creating...especially creating writings...then you know he believes that resistance is always waiting to distract and destroy the artist. He also believes that we are that resistance and the only way to defeat resistance is by doing the work.

This book is in the same vein as "The War of Art" and just as motivating so far. I look forward to completing this one!

Something that Made Me Laugh...A Lot!

This video is an old video I had never seen before. Although the guy is not really an Apple engineer, I like to imagine that these are the types of conversations Apple has before creating any of their products.
