half way through july in a summer like no other. the ten-ish or so texas days i’ve spent at my dad’s place marks the longest period of uninterrupted time – by a longshot – that i’ve spent with any family member since i left high school. i’m on an extended vacation in lewisville, texas. and [...]

it’s a little after 11 pm and still probably 90 degrees outside. my head didn’t ever fully come together today. the long drive and week of house hunting took more of a toll than i thought. age may be a factor … i’m not 32 anymore. i could just be permanently coming unglued and losing [...]

sleeping in and eating constantly and napping. i didn’t realize how much shit i was carrying around in my head and heart leaving town. i got here on thursday. it’s late monday night and i’m finally feeling like i can deal again. i’ve done some cooking for the folks and some work on the lovetoknow.com [...]

big d. made it here yesterday afternoon. the first thing i noticed as i came in the garage at my dad’s place were the 40 odd boxes that i shipped here from california. i didn’t want to spend any money on my boxes, so i pilfered the pine tree circle every other day and dug [...]
