Trying to find a source of light

With college basketball season over we now enter the doldrums of summer. With that I've taken up reading as a hobby. I recently finished reading an abbreviated history of World War I and I'm currently in the middle of an abbreviated history of World War II. On top of that I'm also reading The 9/11 Commission Report during my break periods at work.

I've also been writing my own (fictional) stories during my lunch break and late at night. Maybe I'll post them here if I ever get around to finishing them. I turned 29 years old within the last month so I'd better not drag my feet too much longer on getting them done.
