A little under two weeks ago, I wrote about rejection. Mostly around a rejection notice for a short story I’d received the day before. The real theme of the post, I suppose, was to accept rejection, learn from it, and move on. To not be defined by it.
Looking back on that now as a wiser, [...]

In September, my wife and I went to Italy for two weeks. We stayed in Florence, Venice and Rome. It was an amazing trip. The food, the wine, the sights, the sounds. Two weeks, just me and my wonderful wife. Words just don’t do it much justice.
