I don’t want to lose the moment. Flipping through old family photos, lovingly passed on to me by my mom, at an airport that I can’t remember the name of. The overhead announcer continues to call people back to security checkpoint, reminding them to pick up their lost items. We must be in Tennessee. “We […]
7:16am and I’m wishing i had taken 15 minutes to stop and fill up my rental car with gas before returning it. Part of me feels as if they ought to provide their customers with cigarettes after such a good hard…well, you know. Regardless, I digress. DAL>CMH>LGA>DAL. I’ve called all of these places “Home” at […]
If I ever have a son, I’ll want him to feel valued and strong, capable of achieving whatever it is he sets his mind to and encouraging him to rise from his failures and convert them into victories. If I have a daughter, I’ll want her to know she’s got a heart of gold and […]

Back. Guess who’s back. Whose back. Back. Back. back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. it’s time. Time. Time. Time. Time. Time. Time. Time to let go. Let go. Years.
