The King is Dead, Long Live the King!
I spent the last 7 years pouring hundreds of thousands of words and countless hours into Cuban Nomad. It had been my sounding board, my confessional, my soapbox, and my classroom. Oftentimes, I didn’t know how I felt about a particular matter until it was in text on this website. I shared triumphs and defeats, illness and recovery, new starts and sad ends.
Then it all went away. 7 years of writing blinked out of existence because of technical glitches.
It felt like my guts had been ripped out, but only for a moment, because I soon realized this was an opportunity. I had grown over the years as a writer and as a person, so instead of carrying around old thoughts and broken links I could have a fresh start. A place with which to explore the next 7 years of my life (and hopefully many more).
It will continue to transform while I finalize its design, but in the meantime, welcome to my new digital space.

Bitter sweet. I am extremely excited about this, however. A blank slate — both a literal one and a figurative one. What adventures and insights await? I look forward to reading them all. I’m glad you are back.
