He is a wordsmith. I hold him in a memory. I am beautifully resilient. I have always been. I am blessed by that. You were my Achilles' heel, the wax I built my wings out of as I tried to fly towards the sun, the shine on those 30 pieces of silver that I betrayed... Continue Reading →
One of the shows on standard cable that I happen to love is admittedly "Shark Tank", and I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. First of all, I know that it can be brutal if an entpreneur or inventor walks in without their numbers for the investors/sharks, or they haven't really done enough of... Continue Reading →
It's a routine I've known for at least 30 years. I know it like I know the feel of each bump on my skin as I rub my arms. A familiar 8 count of part self-flagellation, part-curiosity it's a dance I do in the wee hours of the morning when my mind is still running... Continue Reading →
I was blessed to see this band open up for I believe Ben Folds Five but I can't remember anymore. I do know that it was at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia and I believe it was them followed by Soul Coughing and then BFF. Lots of energy on stage and don't forget Danielle Brisebois...

FIND There's a new wing joint in town and so far, so really good! It's apparently a chain so see if there's one near you: WINGS OVER...well in my case, WINGS OVER KNOXVILLE! Another new joint down in the UT campus area, which no doubt will do well given good wings and good tenders. We... Continue Reading →
I’ve worn only black pants since age 22. Seriously. Black. Friggin’. Pants. No jeans. No noisy corduroys. No fun colorful or patterned stretchy leggings. Black pants. All because I’m in a completely consuming relationship. He’s everything I want and he’s always there when I need him. He’s socially acceptable and gets along with almost everyone....

She wondered if it would ever be the same. The deep breaths that yielded oxygenated lungs, but no sweet scent of the things she longed for. The comfort of the kitchen, the nisus of her handmade dough, her home-grown vegetables, the milkiness of the fresh mozzarella and the garlic and oregano which she always used... Continue Reading →
I first read about Squid Game from a Facebook post made by Questlove playfully re-creating a conversation between him and his Bae and the fact that he was excited about a new viral show on Netflix which everyone is watching...and she's already binged. I giggled at this, and then quickly dismissed the thought of even... Continue Reading →
I don't know what to say tonight. I am deeply hurt and feel almost duped by my father. He's been pretty clear for the most part since I arrived here on Friday, yesterday we interviewed a family friend who is willing to help with some respite sitting for my brother to be able to juggle...

Have you ever been in your car and a song came on that made you so happy? That happened this week and had me look into my favorite memories from Level 42. A lot of times when I share my "sonic memories" I would be lying if I didn't explain they often go hand-in-hand with... Continue Reading →
