I have these odd moments throughout the day. Specific flashes of disassociation in which I am momentarily transported across time and space to some quaint corner of the world inspired by dista...

The princess was no idiot. She understood a woman in her position was not going to be marrying for love. Royals married for power, for political alliance, for expedience. Her parents were bound ...

Man...School...I hate it thanks. I knew I wasn't going to be a big fan of marketing. Or deadlines really... But some of the material makes me want to poke my eyes out.  My grandmother's in the ...

With dealing with people like I do all day, you can see how “conversation at all” becomes important and creates the issues it does. Going from merely “Well, that is a pretty long dry spell” stra...

…Has March ever been a time to expect 90º weather? Around the same fucking time last year, I was in layers, making mad dashes to my car to escape the rain. La Niña? El Niño? Aside from watchi...

Today, I was having a meal and overheard what sounded like a pretty heated discussion from a couple at the other table. They looked to be in their late 40s or early 50s. He was sitting there qui...

My Cousin’s moving back to TN Saturday morning. Wanted to see her one, last time, and say goodbye to her dog, but she said she’s not up to it. A big part of me thinks she wants to avoid the plet...
