Kevin’s dad’s family almost entirely resides in Washington. His dad was born and raised there. Kevin can remember the many times that, as kids, he …
Under the Road
Dark outside, Black inside, Save the white glow of a headlamp, Illuminating the gray floor before me. Dust hangs in the air, Chalky construction dust, With powder I kick up, As we walk farther along.

I've worked on crafting the answer to that question for the past few years. Usually, I've kept it very broad. Sometimes, I've outright responded with "Working for your company". …
‘Murica’s Murals
I'm too committed to alliteration at this point, hence the title of this post. So, hello! It's been over a month since I've uploaded anything, and I apologize. I left my Better Call Saul reviews by the wayside, and I'll have to wrap them up next week. I'll also post something next week that'll explain my …
