Gone Girl I STOPPED BY Starbucks on the way back to the office, my mind on Ezekiel and our conversation. Nearly three years, and he was still hung up on her? That must have been some love. Not that I didn’t understand. If Gwen ever left me, I’d lose it, too. As I pulled out … Continue reading We Are All Stardust: Part 4

We Are All Stardust: Part 3
Diaries of Lost Loves I CAUGHT UP with Ezekiel Erikson in the student commons. He was a good looking black kid sitting alone in a corner booth, his head buried in a book. When I got closer, I could see the title. C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain. “Are you Ezekiel Erikson?” I asked, even though … Continue reading We Are All Stardust: Part 3
We Are All Stardust : Part 2
It's Haunted. Of Course, It's Haunted. NINETY DAYS LATER, Gwen and I moved into our brand new home. On the one hand, it was great to finally have a place where I didn't have to share a wall with strangers, or worry about someone parking in my spot when I got home from work. On … Continue reading We Are All Stardust : Part 2
We Are All Stardust: Part 1
The Unbearable Sadness of Home Shopping THERE IT WAS. The perfect house. I scrolled through the photographs on Zillow once, twice, three times. Four bedrooms, three baths, in a great school district, and priced within our budget. It was perfect. I texted my wife. Found one. Let's go see it this afternoon. She emojiied a … Continue reading We Are All Stardust: Part 1

I love WordPress. Every time I think I'm at loss on things to blog about, I stumble onto something that gets me thinking... and writing. Today it's WWW Wednesday. The three Ws stand for: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? Let's play! What … Continue reading #amreading
At a Party
MAGGIE LEANED AGAINST the wall, the obligatory red Solo cup of warm beer in hand. She had no intention of drinking it. It was a prop, to fend off obnoxious Wall Street boys. Why aren't you drinking, baby? Maggie fought the urge to smile. The funny thing was they thought they were being subtle. Across … Continue reading At a Party
After Work
JANE TOUCHED HER neck, checking her pulse. Third time around the lake, and she was keeping steady at 98 bpm. How frustrating. "Push it, girl," she muttered out loud. "You want a skinny ass? Push it. Push it, dammit!" It didn't work. She didn't feel like pushing it, whether she should or not. Maintaining … Continue reading After Work

I interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for a brief announcement. I've reached a milestone! Two hundred and three blog posts. Whoo-Hoo! That's a lot. I may need to sit down for a moment. Also, it's now time for me to re-establish that I actually have a book for sale on Amazon. If you've enjoyed my … Continue reading 203 Blog Posts
