On Grief

When we lose someone we love, this is what happens. A bubble immediately envelopes us; we are insulated from the outside world, the shock of what has just happened bounces around the inside curves of our new world; the outside world echoes hollow and ever-more distant in the distance.

Snow’s BBQ

I sat there for hours, watching others come and … Continue reading On My Green Card →

On November

I don’t know why November became quite so full of itself. As if Thanksgiving isn't enough for it to be doing, we have two more exciting things to be writing about. Even though I’m not going to do things the normal way, I wanted to record my interest here. Otherwise, what would you be reading … Continue reading On November →
