“I don’t sing because I’m happy; I’m happy because I sing.” William James It is an odd spring day for this week. The sun is out. It’s been raining for a week, or so it seems. Thus, collectively we’ve been a bit in the dumps. With the sun […]
It’s 2:17am. I’m up coughing up a lung watching a silly movie called My Spy. I couldn’t really tell you what has happened in the movie and I’m more than an hour in. I’m exhausted but know there is no sleep to come for a while. Being sick […]

This is a sad post for me to write. I used to be a big fan. But now, I’m beyond annoyed. I am over Uber. Now, mind you I rely on Uber for a lot. I don’t drive. Never have. I didn’t even drive when I lived in […]
