  • Stop Dying on Me

    Over the past two months I’ve been humbled by my inability to do anything when people start dropping around me. Oddly enough, this has happened three times during that period.

    Sadly, it’s true. The other night I wasn’t sleeping very well. I could not fall into a deep sleep. Dreams and reality intertwined. As I worried about not sleeping I fell asleep enough to start dreaming. I struggled, in my dream, to figure out why I could not sleep. Then it hit me. I had…

  • My iPod Makes Me Cool
