The Wagon
I am going to have a few beers tonight. We went to the health food store and they carry a little bit of craft beer. I couldn’t resist. Stephanie argued that because of the THC I can’t really consider myself sober anyway. I didn’t fall off the wagon, I jumped. I joked to her that…

Armistice
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent. World War One was supposed to be the war to end all wars. Over a hundred years of that theory being proven wrong makes me sad. I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and…
