Get to Work: A Late Remembrance

Post 1

One of my most favorite messages that I have ever received, truly, is on a Post-it note from Despair.com, and this note is full of misspellings. And I love it something fierce, enough so that I apparently still have the note five and a half years after I found it stuck to the monitor in [...]


Autumn Morning with Winter On Its Way

Post 2

What am I doing with my car? I am sitting in my dining room on 17th and Denny and looking out the window at Sparkle Motion, wondering at its fate while I am far far away. And I think about the six weeks that I have left in Seattle—six weeks from today until December 22nd—and [...]

Two Seattle compatriots, wearing in total two pairs of shorts, one shirt, and no shoes, drink coffee and work on their Spanish homework. I've slept for just over six [...]

I've been thinking a good deal regarding the last year and the present year and I'd like to offer some longer, more contemplative thoughts in the future.
