The last 'A 'Borg and a Baritone' post was in September 2019, at the end of the Drum Corps Associates (DCA) season. This is likely just a two-post return. The first post is my return to marching and playing. In 2020, Tiffany (a great HS friend) told me about the Kentucky Marching Pride, a marching … Continue reading “A ‘Borg and a Baritone” Returns (Briefly)!
[Insert Number Of] Facts About Me
I have some new readers and followers on WordPress and Facebook, so 'welcome' to you all!

“Night Walks”: Now That School’s Out….
It's been a long time since I've made a late-night post, a mental "Night Walk". But I woke up just before 1 AM, it's 2 AM (at the start of this), and I can't fall back asleep.

Is It Already February?!?

This is my 2nd chance at the Capstone, as I screwed up the deadlines of the last attempt. Wish me luck! Health I am approaching my 12-year anniversary of my heart valve surgery! … Continue reading Is It Already February?!?
Welcome to 2022!
It's a new year! It's now up to me to see how the early weeks of 2022 go. One thing I'm going to do differently, compared to past years: I'm not making Resolutions, "Wish Lists", or anything similar, other than a Reading Challenge for Goodreads (I want to read/listen to more than 20 books in … Continue reading Welcome to 2022!

For those who are/were regular readers of my blog, thank you for sticking around! For new readers, welcome to The Nexus!I don't have a really good reason why this is only the 3rd post since June, other than 'total mental exhaustion'. I could never seem to get going in a lot of things: this page, … Continue reading Return
