It's been 6 years since I tried to start this blog, and since I failed to keep it going. At the time, I think one of the biggest problems I had was trying to decide on a focus (partially because people, including my dad, said 'you have to have a specific focus or no one will read it').
I began this site with the intentions of contributing general space-related outreach, but I lost steam because there are so many places that just do that better than I could hope to. I think it also died because it wasn't me. I absolutely love my job, and there are aspects that I geek out about like crazy, but I've never been good at being a single-issue superfan. For anyone who knows me, I tend to over-share, so without a little personal stuff, this has no hope of survival. I'll try to rein it in, but yeah. Read at your own risk.
So, with this rebirth, welcome to my new, less formal blog. I still plan to share local Mid Atlantic/Maryland space related events, but I will also post about things that eat away at my mind as I get older and have time to reflect. I'll try to tag things with relevant labels and/or organize into different page categories so any readers can avoid topics as necessary. So, with that, I try again. Dad's no longer around to read it, so I may not have any consistent readers. That's ok, I can always journal into the void...
