Note: First, This post contains graphic imagery. If surgical photos make you queasy, this is not for you. Prior to seeing me in the recovery room, I firmly believe that Andy had no idea what was happening to me. “What’s this totally elective, not at all serious thing my wife has gotten herself into this […]
Unpacked Boxes
My kids are at the age where they ask questions they can’t google the answers to. It was like, the second they found google, they stopped needing me for shit.
To Andy, On His Birthday
Dear Andy, I took these photos of you a couple weeks ago at Disney.
And She Was Never Heard From Again
The woods is a really amazing place to go if you have all sorts of inner turmoil and nowhere to put it. I’m struggling with moving, I’m struggling with my religion, I’m struggling with our country, I’m struggling with what I want to do next. I’m just a ball of conflict and angst, and I […]

I remember being in junior high and kissing a boy on my friend’s bed for 3 hours. Three whole hours. No talking, just intense rhythmic french kissing.

Group Therapy
“8 and three dashes.” “What?” “8 and three… yes three dashes.” I hold three fingers up into the air as Andy and my brother Adam stare at me from the table saw positioned on the deck. “8 and three dashes.” I yell at them again from the center of the dining room. “What the fuck […]
Dear Andy While You Sleep
Monday I rolled over in bed to come face to face with my little doll-faced cherub. I am keenly aware of the imaginary clock ticking above our heads, and our time of morning time girl snuggles are fleeting. I touched my finger to her warm little nose and she opened her heavy eyes, smiled softly, […]
