First off, thanks to everyone for the very sweet and supportive comments on my last post. I’m doing just fine and dandy. Well, better than that really. I’m actually calm. A word I swear no one would ever have used to describe me before. So it’s nice — not getting […]
Groovy, man
My kid is listening to John Coltrane. In his room. As he falls asleep. He asked for it. “I want Coltrane, Mommy.” This is cool, yes. But I think his true request was, “I want coal train.” If he knew the difference, we might be back to “Ahoy there, mates!”

Oh, snap!
Watch out, world! Devin is armed and dangerous. Big thanks go out to Patrick, who felt the world needed another budding photographer. I’m excited, yes. To share a hobby with my son and to get the chance to view his creative take on his life. But also slightly nervous. Because […]
