Tom I wish I could say that was true but no, that's mowing the lawn and working in the garden. I really don't enjoy sitting down and writing that much, truth be told, I enjoy the field work, which feels like play, while actually sitting down and writing is something I dread a little each time. and I really appreciate your compliment and am sorry I am so late to reply, it's been a crazy summer.
Reading through your backlog of posts right now. I never served in the military, but had some traumatic experiences in college - mostly related to violence and sexual depravity. I’ve tried all kinds of medications and like you mentioned, the only thing that seems to work is marijuana. Was a daily smoker for years but am just now off the sauce (got laid off and being stoned makes it hard to grind out job applications). Regardless, I love your writing. Keep it up mate.
Damn, you're a good writer Matt. Do you feel that writing is something that, if you practice it regularly, renews you a little each time?

That’s a good essay, thanks for sharing it.
