Hey Space Cadets, how’s everyone doing? Things are going well here, the weather is manageable and summer has come to Fort Handley.

Author: J.R. Handley
J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

All About the Gardening
Hey Space Cadets, I hope everyone is doing amazing today! I wanted to show you my latest achievement during this COVID lockdown! I managed to get my small Victory Garden up and running! I don’t have a large useable yard, but I have a 5-foot by 5-foot concrete patio that I can use. With few options, I planted a small bucket garden, which I’m very proud of. This is my first garden; I’ve never even had a house plant before this. Luckily, my mother-in-law was raised in the sticks and knew Continue reading “All About the Gardening”
