Bio
I enjoy writing, mostly to entertain, oftentimes to fixate on something that is annoying me. As in, "Don't get me started!" or "And another thing!". Nothing earth shattering, just fun.

Follow the Leader
Follow the Leader One by One Why leave the suburbs of Dallas for the boonies in Ithaca? Did they just close their eyes and point to anywhere on a map to make that decision? The days spent moving across the country go by in a haze. They are interchangeable between me driving, my sister Audrey driving, and the endless changing of Alex’s diapers. We’re the chaser car behind Audrey’s husband Joe. He’s in charge of navigating the U-Haul full of their life’s belongings. We are here in case he breaks down. It is impossible to keep straight which state we are in anymore. The only consolation at the end of the daily ten-hour ride will be the hotels my sister picks. She insists there be a pool each night where we can stretch out on lounge chairs and put the day behind us.

Childhood
Childhood Another Time In the days of my childhood, kids were repeatedly told, “Don’t put that in your mouth! You don’t where it’s been”. It was to me, one of life’s hardest choices. Either listen to my mother’s stern voice or ignore her and pick up the unwrapped candy lying in the middle of the sidewalk. The candy beckoned, “Pick me up, eat me, I’m yummy.”. A glance up into my mother’s unflinching eyes and the dilemma was resolved. Not on my life am I disobeying her. The candy stays where it is.
