Goats: the horned critters best known for their propensity to ram into people, eat just about anything, and produce milk that is subsequently turned into a variety of cheeses that people pretend to enjoy. They also make a high-pitched noise — resembling “maa” or “baa” — called a bleat. Oddly enough, goats’ bleating is one […]
Hello my friend, The last email I sent was on November 10th of last year. There isn’t some grand reason for the gap like a trip to Nepal to discover myself, or months in a hospital after injuries from saving multiple people from a house fire. The gap really was because of a few changes […]

Why I write these letters With the theme of this week’s email, I’ll try and keep my thoughts precise and focused on one topic. However I would like to say something quick about the purpose of these emails and why I write them. First they are an immense help to myself in organizing my thoughts, […]
