They stalled out. They choked. They made so many mistakes, they had to step over them when they were trying to leave the field. The greatest part is that we, as a city and a state have agreed to finance a brand…

Sometimes, writers can be off on Sunday. Way off. A week or two ago I promised you I was going to try to write something every day. Well, we all know that life happens. Even boring life happens.

Balancing a full-time job and writing for Medium can be challenging but certainly possible with…
