  • 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 …

  • Slouching Towards Washington

    I went to Washington on Saturday for Christmas parties; a birthday party. I used to love Beltway parties, but I am not a part of that social scene any more. My life has changed drastically. I am not invited to the par…

  • Emotional Rescue

    I have a monstrous headache, a pile of email to respond to, a web page to create, and two cranky doggies. Everywhere I look, my friends are coming absolutely unraveled. I'm starting to doubt myself and it's a terrible …

  • Crumbs and Drips

    Maisy, my crafty little genius dog, turned a year old last month, and after a difficult puppy hood, has grown into a silly, shaggy, affectionate little dog. She has taken to perching behind me on the couch when we eat, …

  • Lessons from the Front
