    Man-oh-man is life ever chaotic these days. I haven't cracked my laptop open in WEEKS. The new job position has been eating so much of my time. I have put in more hours than salaried managers, but I am getting over time which is nice. For once my head is above water and I can…

        Whew, things have been pretty crazy lately. Work has been unusually busy for the winter. The only explanation I can give is that we have had an extremely mild winter and people have been more free to travel.  They also have been free to be complete jerks. Especially the el...

    "to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it and everything you've held dear  crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,  your throat filled with the silt of it. When grief sits with you, its tropical heat thickening the air, heavy as water more fit for gills than l...

           I guess I counted my chickens before they hatched. DB ended things the other morning and I am surprisingly sadder than I thought I would be. It turns out I really liked the guy. Things had started to get more serious and we were spending more and more time together, and...
