Waiting Rooms: Purgatory with Magazines from 1997
Welcome, fellow time travelers, to the place where minutes stretch into geologic eras, where coffee is both free and a cry for help, and where every decorative fern has seen things it will never unsee. Today, we stroll bravely into Waiting Rooms… those beige vestibules of destiny, armed with nothing but a pen on a chain and a blood pressure of “why am I sweating, it’s 68°F in here?”

Dear Ms. Martha,
I want to tell you something that has been haunting me for many years. While you were out one Sunday morning, I snuck into your house. I knew you would be out all day since you were very involved in the church. When I was a child you left your doors unlocked, as most older people did in that town.

Dad's Tractor...
Dad's Tractor Of course, I thought I could fix it. That is how these things always begin. Not with skill. Not with training. Not with even the most basic mechanical understanding. With confidence.

Peacock Apology Escalation
I am sorry about the peacock.
