August 25, 2017 Monologue on American Violence - Episode #247
Pray for our United States. Where are we headed as an American people? Is the country too big to agree on anything reasonable? How do we as a society cope with painful parts of our history that are commemorated in statues, monuments, parks, schools, or government buildings? This is a monologue that I wrote about how I see things. You might not like it. I live in the middle of the conflict and it's front and center to the media coverage I see and the people I interact with personally and professionally. Pray for our United States.

I had a successful finish at the inaugural Night Train 50k ultramarathon in Farmville, Virginia.
