2022-03-23 One Blog Post to Rule Them All…
Spoiler alert: This will be my last post for the foreseeable future. And it is a long one. A lot has happened in my life these past 5 years and much of it has been captured in the virtual pages of this space. I created this blog in 2017 when I was literally on the…

2022-03-17 Something Only Slightly More than Nothing 🍀🍀🍀
I am so low energy today. Rough night and you know, lately I’ve been pushing hard physically and am tired from that too. I’ve also been trying to think about what might be a worthy blog post and just don’t have it. I know, I know. When has that ever stopped me before??! 🙃 What’s…

It’s been another hot minute, you know I know. But I’ve been attending to other duties as assigned and this week it was all about hanging out with the founder and managing editor of Red Hen Press and the LA Review. It was/is a big deal and personally a fantastic experience. What an opportunity to…

2022-02-13 The One About Memory and Time. And Rocks… 🪨
I think about time quite a bit, and about memory too. I think about an hourglass glued to the table; the lyric of a song stuck in my mind for a lifetime. I can’t escape the curve of it, the gravity, the sensation of something you can’t really hold on to that’s slipping away. I’ve…

2022-02-06 SMA Road Trip Day 0 Continued: The St. Louis Arch
Yesterday we had to push real hard to make our 4:30 ticket time at the Saint Louis arch. We planned to leave home around 9 but became delayed, as is often the case, with all the last minute stuff at the house. I was supremely disappointed as we got on the road and was told…

2022-01-20 Waiting.. and More Waiting + Thinking About Death
A week ago my uncle was taken by ambulance to a hospital in CB. Same day he was transferred to a hospital in Omaha and prepped for surgery for a subdural hematoma—bleeding around his brain. Now it’s a week later and he’s awake but has been unresponsive. Still intubated, as I understand it and my…
