  • 2018-02-28 EVERYTHING Is Due Today

    I’ve put some serious hours into my MFA packet this week and I’m quite satisfied with what I’m turning in today. I’m very happy about the revisions to a few of my previous first drafts and though I’m not super excited about any of my three essays, I think they are all pretty good too.…

  • 2018-02-26 Monday Morning Lulz

    I’ve got a feeling today is gonna be a great day. I made some progress this weekend with my schoolwork and have the last things somewhat teed up for completion in the next couple of days. I’m lunching with my Omaha bestie, Barb. And my hair looks great today. #winning No familiar faces at the…

    3 2s 2 0s 2 1s 1 8 Among all the ideas, problems, people, and feelings my brain forces itself to contemplate relentlessly are numbers. I’m on day three with my current analysis about dates(ironically, I’m referring to calendar dates).

    What? What takes heart?.. Pretty much everything in life. Really, for us mammals, we can’t live without it but that’s the literal translation of course. I dwell a lot in metaphorical spaces. I’ve written a fair bit lately publically and privately about communication and language and the fact that words with definitions are one of…
