I want to talk to you for a few minutes about crowds. (I wrote this in two sittings, writing the first part early this afternoon, before I went out, not thinking it would turn out the way it did. Which just goes to show how insidious depression and anxiety can be.) I hate ‘em. If… Continue reading October 20, 2018

I want to talk to you for a few minutes about two things I never talk about. Specifically, I want to talk about why I don’t talk about them, and to do so, I’m not going to talk about them at first. Imagine you have a friend that is dating somebody bad for them. I… Continue reading September 13, 2018

I want to talk to you for a few minutes about anniversaries. Anniversaries aren’t really something I spend too much time thinking about. I’ve never been married, so that takes away having to be concerned about the big one that most people sweat over, and as for other people’s, I’m about as good as remembering… Continue reading September 20, 2018

I want to talk to you for a few minutes about depression. The other morning it took me 6 minutes to put in one contact. It shouldn’t take that long (normally doesn’t) and it was very frustrating. Must people would be frustrated by that, but most of those people would let that frustration go before… Continue reading June 10, 2018
Ashes to Air (April 29, 2018)
This was his rock. He said it suited him best because it gave him more room to stretch out his legs, and not because it was one of the few chances she could ever feel what it was like to be taller than him. Both of those were true, but she believed he also chose… Continue reading Ashes to Air (April 29, 2018)

My apartment has a small back patio. It’s really not much, maybe an 8 by 8 concrete slab, made bigger only because the fence that separates ours from our neighbor’s came down in the storm. The fence that is still standing stands about six feet tall, nothing to look at, simply a utilitarian fence to… Continue reading October 20, 2017

Cyber security experts tell us, that when it comes to passwords, we should have different ones for different accounts and change them up on a regular basis. Between my three email accounts, my various social media platforms, my banking, my phone, this place and god only knows however many else, there’s no way I’d remember… Continue reading October 17, 2017

Things I’ll miss… I’ll miss the spring. Spring seems like a special season here in the city. Truth be told almost every season does for it’s own reason, with the possible exception of winter. As a child winter was something magical, so blatantly different from all three other seasons and so full of wonder and… Continue reading February 3, 2017

For the last few years I’ve posted a year end video, sort of my own tongue-in-cheek State of the Union. Someone asked me this year if I was going to do one. I hadn’t really thought about it, and when I did I realized that not only did I not know what to say, I… Continue reading January 9, 2017

My first memory of Watership Down was seeing it on my brother’s bookshelf. The cover of that particular edition had a drawing of an ornate compass, one complete with ENE and SSW and so on. With the 16 points it looked much like the paddle wheel of a river steamboat. This to me made sense… Continue reading December 27, 2016
