  • Then She Smiled At Me

    I hadn’t played the drums in at least five years. I’d focused on my engineering career, which I was certain would take off. Subsequently, I took a job as a project manager with a company whose specialty was drone technology. And they’d promised me my career would take off, along with the drones.It wasn’t really clear to me the day I’d been invited to a holiday work party that I’d be given a chance on more than a career boost. If I’d known, I would have brought my drumsticks, and I’d have worn a better suit.It was 2020, and as everyone knows, COVID-19 had made a strong appearance, causing a lo...TZkone door

    I didn't know I was supposed to be afraid. I was being invited to play with the boys at the treehouse. I was "IN," and I wasn't about to turn that down. I asked if there was a ladder and one of them pointed to some boards nailed into the tree ascending up the trunk. They gestured that I was first, so up I went. One of the boards pulled out completely when I grabbed it, but I still kept going.

In my adulthood, I know this to be a 45-degree ...TZkone door
