April 28th, 2024 To celebrate my upcoming birthday (it’s not today, it’s Wednesday, May 1st, but you already knew that) I went out not once, but twice this weekend. On Friday, I found myself at the Fine Line to see Landon Conrath & friends, holding my own front row all night. The young energy hadContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”

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!!”

Let Go
March 15th, 2024 My fingers are locked tight around the steering wheel. I imagine all the ways this could go wrong at any moment, the reheated leftovers of PTSD, driving a formally stolen car that tried to kill me last year. I wonder if I can get fast enough that my car could lift upContinue reading “Let Go”
VI
December 9th, 2023 Six years ago today, I pulled off my biggest act of rebellion. Despite being an unfortunate people-pleaser who needs everyone to like him (and has succeeded maybe 30% of the time), I have always been rebellious by nature. I was born obstinate and stubborn (a Taurus!) and, sure, I can still beContinue reading “VI”

School’s Out!
November 1st, 2023 I learned more than I taught in my first Writing Class and I have these wonderful writers to thank. We’re missing three more (they had unfortunate or unexpected events arise, and were deeply missed!), but this group was so special and I couldn’t have asked for more compassionate and understanding, generous andContinue reading “School’s Out!”

October 30th, 2023 It’s the end of October, and I have just one essay about Flip left for you. Psych. The last one was the last one.
