Dear Jerk in the Red Pickup, I admit it. I’m unsettled. Not so much by the fact that you tailgated us for over five miles, but that you did so ranting and huddling up in the corner of the cab with your fist over your forehead, hunching and swaying. If you really...

Yes, it’s the obligatory New Year’s resolutions post! I’m sure you can hardly wash. Yay! Write more. I did poorly with the short story deadlines, but maybe they were too short. One short story a month, excepting March, June, and November, which...

One year, not too long after my parents had divorced, my mother tearfully announced that there would be no Christmas this year and stormed off to work. No money, you see. It just so happened that my mother also used to rescue half-dead plants from the office and nurse...
