February 15th, 2025 Do you want to learn a fun sleight-of-hand trick that can reveal a fraud close to you? It’s super neat and I can teach you myself. This isn’t going to be an enjoyable post but it is an essential one. This will help explain where everybody stands. We don’t have to getContinue reading “Equivoque”

Kick The Can
January 26th, 2025 It’s impossible to truly hide. Not wholly. I haven’t really made anyone big mad lately (that I’m aware of), but you know me: I still have these feet, and I still have this mouth. And I feel hungry today. Not sure if you heard, but a church bishop recently made a lotContinue reading “Kick The Can”
Knife-work
November 19th, 2024 I work in an industry where people often complain on both sides of the table, and live in a world where that’s true at least a hundred times more, but I had two experiences last week in that work, in this world, that were wonderful, and I’m just going to write aboutContinue reading “Knife-work”
Twin Cities Con 2024
November 10th, 2024 It’s been said by people way smarter than I am that we should “find community” this week and be with each other. Twin Cities Con couldn’t have happened at a better time. (A special thank you to the peerless TCC gang who make this show one of my favorite weekends of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2024”
Four Years / Natural
October 16th, 2024 If you feel a little lonely, you’re not alone in that, and it’s natural to feel. My mom made sure I knew that. She’s been gone four years today. My dad got married last weekend. It was a beautiful day. I was the minister of their wedding. I got a lot ofContinue reading “Four Years / Natural”
a little fucking better
July 17th, 2024 I’ve been thinking a lot about my mom today because I’ve been thinking a lot about change. Before she passed I was very anti-change, because she was here and who would want to move on from that? Years ago I was asked to write and sing a chorus for a spoken wordContinue reading “a little fucking better”
Beholder
May 31st, 2024 Today is my mom’s birthday. There are so many beautiful photos of her and this is one of them. I was young when she woke up one day and half of her face was unresponsive; it was during or shortly after she was pregnant with one of my youngest sisters. For her,Continue reading “Beholder”
May
May 16th, 2024 May used to be my favorite month, and now it’s the hardest. It’s not fair, which is perfect because my dad spent my childhood preparing and then reminding me that life would never be. I was born on the first of May, she was born on the last, and her day —Continue reading “May”
FOB!!
April 8th, 2024 I have actually lost count of how many times I’ve seen Fall Out Boy live, but I know when I became a diehard fan: 2005, the year that the album From Under The Cork Tree was released. Like I said in a previous post, FOB is one of the precious few thingsContinue reading “FOB!!”
Strange Love
January 9th, 2024 We have different definitions for what it is that makes us human, but mine is pretty simple. Humans have the ability to protect those who are the most vulnerable, and know how noble and sweet it is to care for, shelter, and serve those who need us most. There is a very,Continue reading “Strange Love”
