  1. Christmas, and Tracy Bonham

    My self-improvement journey continues, in full transparency. Nothing less than full transparency is entertaining, and my hope for this blog is that if nothing else, you will be entertained by my attempts to make sense of shit. This Christmas we ran away from home, away from hosting the in-laws, and two of my siblings. I didn’t want to deal with bullshit and pretentiousness. Christmas comes with nostalgia though, right?

  4. Where the hell have I been?

    Where the hell have I been? Well, right here really. I was sitting on my new couch, which I bought for staging my home to sell it. It’s an awesome midcentury modern sorta thing, new from Ikea. It comfortably seats five. I was sitting on it, alone, thinking about selling my house... remembering the day my youngest sister first arrived. Her headlights shone through the windows in our front door, with its angled glass refracting the light and dispersing it like pixie dust. I dropped my fork and…
