Childhood I find myself back home at 30, nestled in the house where I spent my childhood years. The familiarity of these surroundings offers both comfort and disorientation.

First Post: Salutations
Howdy-do! The name is Nick Bucci. If you haven’t read the bio: I am a teacher, writer, and photographer. You should also know that I enjoy the Oxford Comma. I’m not really sure what the purpose of the blog will be other than quenching my desire to write. If I create a commitment, I haveContinueContinue reading “First Post: Salutations”
