@mikemwilson Yup. Know this feeling. I once set a mug full of coffee on top of my car, got in and opened the sunroof. Mug hit me on the head and bathed me in hot coffee. For a second I thought I was being attacked by a backseat mugger. Good luck with the rest of your day.

I'm sorry to have largely disappeared from Twitter without explanation. I'm not feeling well. Issues with chronic pain and battle anniversaries have been giving me trouble. I'll be more active here when I feel better. Thanks for thinking of me. Take care.

With everything people are dealing with in their lives these days anything I might say on Twitter seems inconsequential or impossible to frame in a tone that isn't too joyful or too dark.

I'm so tired of humans' brutality towards each other on small and large scales. We are a failed species. Push the button. Start over with the hope of a future kinder race.

"So many tens of thousands were lost this way, and the infighting, the brutality involved, allowed the world to turn an indifferent eye to the decimation of Sudan: the civil war became, to the world at large, (1/2)
