Description: More happy than terrible, promise.
I haven’t done a lot of personal writing this year due to … a lot of things. Just some personal ennui, and a general fatigue with journalism, and a sudden interest in stock trading of all things.
But I sometimes do miss the kind of writing I was doing on Medium the last couple of years after I left the newspaper. I got to be more myself in my writing than I ever had before and then I just stopped when leadership changed over there and I stopped getting paid for assignments.
Well, whether I’m getting paid or not (decidedly not in this case), I still like to share, so here’s something I wrote over there , completely on my own, about what it’s been like to be a marching band dad. Hope you enjoy it.
