  • City on Fire

    I am in California. California is on fire. I traveled here for work in the middle of last week, and I have to be here for work through the middle of this coming week, so I took the weekend to see my family, some old fr…

  • To the Quick

    My brother's best friend of almost 20 years died. It was, is, and will continue to be tragic for a long, long time. This was a young man who had struggled mightily in his life, and who had been central to my brother's …

  • Family Ties

    I got an envelope in the mail yesterday from my uncle. But since I was on my way out the door, I put it on the counter and didn't open it until today. I woke up super late today, with a headache (probably from several …

  • Lady Who Lunches

    I have been trying to write for DAYS. Talking about politics (endlessly) was fun for the last eighteen months...now I'm ready to take a break from that for a while. I am fascinated by the historical and theoretical und…

  • Mug Shot

    I drink a lot of tea. As one might expect from a tea drinker, I have a lot of mugs. I have one mug in particular that I really love. It's super weird. It cost a fortune, and it has a picture of Andrew's cousin in her…
