Florida native. 21 years in the military. Current Colorado resident. Foul mouth. A bunch of daughters.

Writing from 1983 to 2013…

Out of nowhere this morning, I found myself thinking back to this clunky Smith Corona PWP425 word processor I had back in 1991. I used it to write stuff as an angsty 19-year old dork, often in an, um, altered state of mind, back in my pre-military days in Titusville, Florida.
