I had a realization the other day - my summer "vacation" is two-thirds over. How did this happen? What is this phenomenon wherein the things you love go quickly and the things you do not love so much trudge along as if you are walking through swamp muck? I don't fully get it. Didn't Einstein [...]

I don’t want to be anything other than me

First it was with the table of troublemakers in my EMAP class (I am out at the National Emergency Training Center this week accomplishing a number of things - including learning more about the Emergency Management Accreditation Program).
