On A Cleanse

I’m doing a cleanse at this moment. Day 4 of 21. Brought about by too much cake and schnapps in Berlin, and whatever else in the prior months since the LAST time I did one, back last fall. You know that “toxic” feeling – the one where you feel all sluggish and fat? That would [...]

Stepping Up

There are times in life when it doesn’t matter how you feel, how uncomfortable you are, how much you don’t want to do it, or are afraid. When, regardless of all those things, you still have to step up and do what needs to be done. And speaking at a funeral is one of those [...]

What I’m Reading

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I’m completely in love with my Kindle. Really, I should get a commission for these things – I rave about mine so completely that people leave the plane being total converts and can’t wait to get their hands on one. Since I got mine in June, [...]
