Month: July 2025

Today is my 56th birthday.

If you had asked me a week ago how I’d be spending it, there is zero chance that my answer would have been correct.

Instead of preparing to launch a pre-sale campaign for my 5th book, A Good Boys Journey, as we had planned, I will be sitting in a patient room at Penn State Health in Hershey, Pennsylvania, waiting for my wife to be taken for a kidney biopsy that was originally scheduled for yesterday.

Sandy and I have been workamping at the Hersheypark Camping Resort since the middle of May.

One of the perks of our employment is free entry into Hersheypark.  I figured at some point this summer; I would hop on one of the 16 roller coasters at the park.  However, never in a million years did I expect the roller coaster ride that we’ve been on since July 9th.

That was the day Sandy was admitted to Penn State Health in Hershey.
