Hey all. I just got back from dropping the Pie Dudes off at their first residential camp (meaning they’re away from home on their own for a full week at camp).  It was a very, very long 10 hour drive.  Good news: I gassed up on the way back for an unbelievable $4.06 […]

I’m in a “funk.”

A new friend of mine noticed it in class today and I wasn’t really sure how to respond because at the time, I couldn’t pinpoint it.

It’s frustrating, this melancholy murk I’ve fallen into. It reminds me of a storybook my mom had read to me as a child and the many hours […]

Keeping in mind that I’m prone to handwriting my script and then transcribe, I did my word count as an estimate. You see, by 4 a.m. I’d typed half of what I’d handwritten and decided to double what the typed count was at that point. I figured that would suffice. […]
