Sister City
Week 08… I have discovered a new dimension of joy to living in San Francisco, and it is all thanks to my sister, Robin ❤ When I first moved to the Pacific Northwest, I was the one being shown around; and I will admit that I did not venture far beyond the University District. As…

A Love Letter
Week 07… This morning I woke up with a thought to write about Love. I’m not going to offer anything new on the subject — both poets and cynics have written about it for millennia — but what is it about this complex knot of emotions and chemicals that we find so endlessly compelling? The…

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Meg
