You Are…

Rude, inconsiderate, unkind and uncouth. Completely amoral, unhinged and unrelenting. There is nothing redeeming or charming about your personality which makes me wonder why I cared so much about you to begin with. Was it me? My naiveté? Or was it you and your joie de vivre which confused me. For such an apathetic demeanor […]

You Can’t Love Someone That Doesn’t Want to Be Loved…

What Kyle Reese Taught Me About Love

Pulling All The Stops

My friends became concerned as month four of the layoff train arrived at the station. When the journey started I had a lot of fuel and a couple of cars with very few baggage. At each destination, Santa Cruz, San Francisco and San Juan, I delivered most of the emotional baggage I was carrying but […]
