This afternoon, I received an email from a fellow AD2ATX board member regarding the bios I recently posted to our site. In her email, she simply said, “Do you still need this?” and attached a photo of herself. Rather than typing my reply, I decided to do a Google image search for “yes” and respond [...]
Continue Reading →I slept through Olivia’s attempt at waking me – knocking and asking Meli if she thought I was sleeping, but awoke to Meli’s answer and her telling Oli to let me sleep and be quiet. Ironic, don’t ya think? I smiled and drifted in and out of sleep for another thirty minutes. Finally, I put [...]
Continue Reading →For dinner the night prior, we ordered pizza – just the way I like it: easy on the tomato sauce. Among my observations from the slowly closing day, was Olivia’s fascination with overcoming the communication barrier between us. She’s a smart one and quickly figured out a silent workaround. Her method consisted of hand gestures, [...]
Continue Reading →Slowly, I rose to my feet and let the blood flow south to my Nikes before stretching, grabbing my maletas and exiting the plane. I followed the yellow line for transit passengers to a second security gate, which I could have easily passed through un-detected, except for the armed Argentinian ordering me to do things [...]

The concave creases on either side of my mouth are evidence. Even when others may convey different emotions, I try to remain amused. Being upset requires too much energy and holding onto those things only hinders [...]
Continue Reading →Being sick has its benefits. For one, I’m confined. The extent of my entertainment includes a peppy black cat, a half-full fridge and my computer(s). I have also been avoiding my phone, because I sound like I have an upper respiratory infection…because I do. Hence, I have plenty of time to read, think and write, [...]
Continue Reading →Something terrible happened. Within moments, you’ve got a handful of your closest sharing a bottle of something and your favorite tunes fill the space between. You are the priority. You are the reason they are all here. Laughing, smiling, reminiscing. You are the reason they are singing along to Rocket Man, messing up the words. [...]

I don’t win things very often, but with my raffle tickets (via donation), I won a one [...]
