That first taste of my end-of-day beer, which is always the moment when the anxiety starts to leach out of me, like sweat cooling on the skin.

T.G.I.F. Just stay in bed…
February 25, 2022 by 26 Comments
Ukraine. Russian invasion. Wintery Mix followed by freezing rain. 28° F, feels like 18° F. Best to just stay in bed, and ride it out.

TGIF: Every day when I open my eyes now…
November 12, 2021 by 16 Comments
Every day when I open my eyes now
It feels like a Saturday
Taking down from the shelf
All the parts of myself
That I packed away
If it’s love put the joy in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who’s to say how it goes
All I know is
I’m back in the world again…
It’s the only way to be
5:00 P.M. Bell!

T.G.I.F.
June 18, 2021 by 37 Comments
I know enough to realize that any reprieve my body is granted is only ever temporary. The body has an expiration date, and for those of us who care enough to forge on, to race the clock, much of our life’s work has to do with keeping that date at bay with maintenance, with spit and Band-Aids and all the laughter and intimacy and love we can cram into any twenty-four-hour day.
