And That’s the Hard Part

I haven’t been well enough to take a trip with a friend in three years.

No one should do these things. They are not practical and, in some cases, pretty dangerous.

I don’t know the first thing about farming, contracting, small business, politicking, etc. But they can’t all be right.

The “you belong here” welcome packets feel insufficient in the face of everything people walk in here carrying.

While the other characters are on a physical battlefield, Arwen is on a battlefield of the heart.

There’s no time to let my mind wander when a two-ton Water Oak limb is hurtling toward the ground.

I didn’t ask to be stuck with all these other fans.

All we had to do to win was get both of our pawns to the launch pad.

Eleven months in, we’re still getting bills from the recalcitrant United HealthCare, our ostensible health insurer.

We are doomed and we know it.
