A letter to myself
Dear Chantal, I hope this letter finds you well. If memory serves, I think it does even if I tend to sugar coat some of the period of time that represents who I am sending this to. You're a new... Continue reading

Birdwatching
I had a bit of an accident during the wee hours of December 31, 2012. Before you get ahead of me and assume, wrongly, that by the "wee hours of December 31" you think I was prancing around a fabulous... Continue reading

You're Not Cool Enough For This Ride
Carpool driving is some funny shit. I don't know what I thought carpooling would be like. I suppose the only thought I ever gave to carpooling was the McDonald's commercial (or was it Subway?) where they are offering some sort... Continue reading
