6,376 words to go. I took yesterday off, and the day before that, meaning my little ruse of playing hookey and “working” for “cash” hasn’t helped one bit. Then there’s the late night dips into my DVR collection, and getting a beer with folks who of course are fascinating and interesting, and it’s social behavior [...]

My famous friend Wyatt McDill drives a lot of traffic here. Today, got someone clicking through trying to find Wyatt’s video of indie rocker Jeff Hanson: “This Time It [...]

“He’s just the right man for me. So strong, and cheerful. And I can really tell he likes me. It’ll be great, he can move here and we can…”
