There was something I was really supposed to tell you. I remember writing it down somewhere. Was it on my iPhone? No… I forgot to charge the stupid thing again last night. I didn’t have my journal at the time, so it couldn’t have been my journal either. Agh, where did I write it down? […]
There are two things that I would like to take a moment to clarify – well, at least two. First, Socrates my husband would have been nothing without me. I was the real brains of the operation. Have you ever heard of the Socratic method? Yeah, it should probably be called the Xanthippic method – […]

It’s an old story, old perhaps as time. My world changed the day we met and I can never quite figure out how. Mom pressured me to go spend time with you, because “you never know how long you’ll have.” I hated the smell, the cloying perfume and flowers, the crowded collection of photos and […]
