It’s been exactly a year since I last wrote anything of significance in this blog, and I didn’t actually publish that. In 2021, I had big goals of what to write, how to eventually monetize it as a side hustle, and how to track my move from happily married to suddenly divorced, and rebuilding with basically nothing. I was going to call the series “Starting from Scratch,” and while it’s about two years later than I expected, I’m going to write the series now.

I’ve been thinking of some other things to write about. One of the things I’ve been toying with lately is ham radio. Several years ago, I went and got my Technician license, and played around on the local repeaters and things, but then I decided I really wanted to get onto the HF bands. To do that I needed to upgrade the license, so I studied for the General and Extra exams and, miraculously, passed both. I only really expected to pass the General.

Cooking isn’t that exciting, I guess, but having been in a place of… I don’t know, subservience for a while, the idea that I can cook for myself, and it’s more than grill a steak or heat up a frozen dinner is liberating. I’m not super far into that journey yet, but even with the little things I’m already doing, I can see the joy that it will bring, and the sense of accomplishment.

Nothing here, yet.
