A Much Better Man Than Me
I’m not proud of the article I wrote last week. My heart wasn’t in it, but I didn’t know how to refuse to write it. An amazing reader of mine named Jay had sent me a complete summary of how … Continue reading

It’s Time for Me to Knuckle Down
I have been both looking forward to and dreading this moment for a long time. I suppose that’s true of any major undertaking in my life. And this certainly fits into that category.
I Want to Be Kinder
