Busting at Life

  I don’t know what to tell you all.   I’m in a comfortable place, which kind of scares me. I also keep pulling the same card from my tarot deck: THE STORM WIND The Storm Wind card forecasts that change is on the way. And it might be tough, painful or scary to boot….

How I got my “Golden Ticket” to Hamilton

  Here’s a story for you. I have been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack for over two years. I probably listened to it every day for almost six months at one point, so to say that I knew the lyrics is an understatement. I AM HAMILTON. Ok, come back to Earth, Alex. I had been…

The Woman Who Wasn’t Afraid of Punctuation

  I’ve always wanted to date a French woman. The accent… I can just stop there, right?   Well, today was my lucky day. Her hair was thick and wavy, and black, like fertile soil. With big, blue eyes and the long, elegant fingers of a pianist, or perhaps a cello player. It was a…

The Crap I Write During Writer’s Block

Urghhhhhhhh. Arrrrfffffffgggggggggggggggeckkkkkkkkk! That’s the pained sensation of my body put into words. No, no, it’s not (just) constipation. I’m sitting at a communal table at Starbucks, trying to comb my inner space to see if there’s anything worth writing today.
