Mallory and her boyfriend, Kolin, are serious about Halloween in the way that only people who are in their mid twenties can be serious about Halloween. They threw a costume party on Saturday and decided to dress us, along with their friends, as the characters from Jurassic Park. I especially love that her friend, Gwen, [...]
This is a happy song. I am in great need of happy right now. When the weather starts to change to cold I am instantly crankier. Why I live in Central Illinois is a mystery to me. I am too much of a lizard what with my tolerance for heat and the sun. You won’t [...]

I don’t know what it is about some songs. For one thing, they just have to hit me at the right moment. Secondly, they have to stir something in me or stick with me because of a note or a lyric or maybe because something in my life resonates with me the first time I [...]
The first time I heard this song was on a Ken Burns documentary. While getting photographed in The Traveling Red Dress there was a live band playing music for an event and it was wonderful background music for the outdoor setting I was lucky enough to find myself in, but when they began to play [...]
Recently, I had a conversation with a stranger. I mostly recognize him as someone in my community, but I have no intimate details of his life. We chatted it up for a few minutes and then he mentioned having just read โThe Helpโ and how much he enjoyed it. ย I must have made a face [...]
