The Future of Back in the Day

Unfortunately, or not, I’ve still gotta experience, organize, type and publish my stories here, old school. Ish.

Liquid Paper and 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper, plus those maddening printers are gone from my desk, but typing and thinking and crafting a story are still the same as Back in the Day.

So where am I?

After my mind-blowing, epic 416 days of travel around the globe, I still wake up each day, to the exact same question. So where am I?
