    Close Encounters of the Worst Kind

    June 26, 2026 /No Comments

    A group outing I didn't sign up for, a woman I didn't click with, and a comment about my pendant that sealed the verdict. At this point, I'd rather stay home.

    The Body of Evidence

    Never Give Up, Never Surrender

    What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? I’d tell someone younger than me to never give up. Life and people will throw every obstacle in your way. Never surrender. Don’t compromise on your goals. If you want something, it’s up to you to figure out how to get it. There will be some who can help along the way, but you’ve got to carry the load. I wish someone had given me that advice when I was younger and made me believe it.
