  • Writerly Misconceptions

    What’s on the iPod: Peaceful, Easy Feeling by the Eagles Great day yesterday. I managed to get a ton of project work done on top of organizing a graduation party for my youngest. I can take one area of my life being stressed, but not two at the same time. But I’ve made enough progress…

I dropped her and her boyfriend at the airport, then headed straight for 30th Street Station to pick up the stepson,…
