After the pain of grieving my dog in March, I swore I wouldn't adopt again until it would statistically outlive me. But I'm turning 56 in August—if I don't eat right or exercise, I could pull it off now.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

I've been a published author for 26 years--and I'm just now at my very first artist residency. I didn't get it--or have a life that would fit it, if I did. I get it now. Getting to be in an isolated place with a singular purpose and the time to achieve it is an incredible gift.
