A few years back, three moves ago, I used to work in a New York highrise. Well, actually, It wasn’t even that tall. It was 12 floors. My whole wall was made up of windows. I had a head on view of the Empire State Building. It […]
She was a small-town girl who wanted a big-city life. She had known this from essentially the day she was born. No one around her understood her and her desire to leave the town the second she entered the world. It was an itch. A predisposition. […]
This morning I woke up singing that Michelle Branch song “Goodbye to You.” It was a song that I first heard on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Which, by the way, is in my top five ever favorite shows. I know that the name of the show, and the […]
