12-19-21: Not much to see here, really ... but this is about as close to a resume as i've got, i looked back at all of the propaganda pamphlets that i've distributed in the past, things which fell under the heading of 'resume', and i hate all of them, so this outline is starting from scratch... and this isn't for potential employers and folks that want me to provide a detailed month/year detailed list of previous employers and 'accomplishments', nope... this is just for me, i think it might be an interesting outline for an auto-biography, if there is time in the future for such a thing, but part of thought behind this whole website is a father's message to his children... i have three young adult off-spring, and since i enjoy writing now i thought it would be long and interesting and informative 'letter to my kids' of sorts... i'm currently participating in an exercise which is meant to sort of 'flush-out' a theoretical condition labeled as 'impacted-grief', and the exercise requires the active participant to establish a sort of a time-line of your life's journey and to see at what point you experienced certain types of 'loss'--basically something that a person may 'grieve'... so i thought that the crude list of experiences below--combined with a time-line of other historical things which the impacted-grief thing requires--would be a good outline for an auto-biography, i'm sure that it would be an unimpressive bore to most readers, but still a good exercise in reality, and human growth and development, and something that my kids might get a kick out of someday... so as stated at the beginning, not much to see here ...
