Two weeks ago, my father and I set off for a mini vacation to our cabin in the northwoods of Maine. It was six days of no electricity, no running water and no communication with the outside world. For those six days, there was only the outdoors and time to really think about things. As a family, we would stay in our cabin in Chesuncook Village for two to three weeks at a time and it was some of the best times of my entire life. We left at 6am on Saturday morni...

It has been a little over three months since my last blog entry. Took a bit of a hiatus since I felt my entries were becoming very bland but have since re-tooled and re-fueled for another go at it.

After spending seven days relaxing in both Rochester and Hamilton, I have been sent back to Connecticut for another two weeks of endless claim excitement. I could hardly keep my jaw from hitting the floor when I received that email from workforce management. With this tour, I've been in this state on and off since December. At least this time around, the wea...
