I was walking along Bank Street and BAM! There was an article I’d written in a store’s front window display. Very cool and kind of made my day.

Today will be better

Posted in personal on 01/26/2012 |

Pretty much how I feel today. Lack of email/twitter/fb/social media presence since last week was because of a death in the family. I will return with regular vigor next Monday.

Old pale memories of someone you knew, keep crawling to the back of your mind, stealing time. And in the daylight crossing all your wires, you never knew just how to put out a fire.

I definitely didn’t understand her angst in Jagged Little Pill in 1996, but damn girl, do I get it now.
