As of a few days ago, I can return to Europe. A non-EU citizen such as myself can only be in the European Union’s Schengen Zone for 90 out of 180 days. I was there for three months, meaning I must leave for at least three months. Well, that three-month period has now passed. At this moment, I’m in Ohio and have no immediate plans to go back to Europe. I can say, though, that the passing of this date certainly did not go unnoticed. It also brought some fresh observations and questions to mind.

The Road to Santiago

Welcome to Pilgrim Shelter
If you’ve been following up to this point, you probably noticed the change in the name of this blog. It was a difficult decision to change the title because the previous one served me well.

Thus, I bring you to ‘Pilgrim Shelter.’
Something to Say
Here’s a riddle for you: What do you call a writer who doesn’t write?
Leaving a Legacy
I was reflecting recently on the former president of the United States, and I had some thoughts that I wanted to share.
