Speaking of getting things in the mail, Saturday I received Maggie’s ashes via US Postal Service. No ominous music played. No fanfare of horns. No million bells ringing. Just a lone post office employee walking up my front steps with a cardboard box addressed to me in hand.

During this process of “moving on,” occasionally something pops up that just really surprises me (other than random songs on the radio that disturb my breakfast taco eating time.) The things to which I refer are typically done by folks who mean well and are meant to help but, instead, just make me laugh out [...]

For good or for bad, I’ve established a bit of a morning ritual. It gets me out of bed, showered, out of the house and food in my morning tummy so that’s good. For bad, it costs me $5 every day. The ritual is called Taco Shack and it’s right down the street from our [...]

I’ve been feeling very stir crazy but with a neutered git r done. My brain has been feeling like it’s frozen, locked up, like I’ve been rebooting. Nothing has been going on upstairs now for a few weeks. Just nothing. It’s the oddest feeling, kind of creepy. I even tried to make a list of [...]

A while back someone asked what I was so mad about. Not in a what’s-wrong-with-you kind of way. More in a friendly let’s-talk-about-it way. Hard to explain but they meant well and their question, while I answered it with merely a smirk, caused me to think for a while as many things [...]
