Overtures

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Something is happening with my dad. Overtures have been made. A phone call here or there. An email. A text. A question that asks “Are you happy? I hope that you’re happy.” An invite for lunch when he’s in town for a business meeting. He’s trying, but it’s all very peculiar. My heart isn’t necessarily [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #26: Compiled Miscellany of Snark

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I hate a lot of things. Besides the obvious things like Speidi, sex offenders, and people who do bad things to children, puppies and/or trees; I hate lots of random things too.

Idle Hands
