In March I turn another year older, which is a good thing when you consider the alternative, but it also hurts a little to have to say that steadily growing number outloud. I keep reminding myself that it is just a number. It doesn’t define who I am any more than the number on the … Continue reading Another Year Older

Luke and Laura dominated afternoon tv and no one I knew owned a computer or a cd player. I used my jam box and an audio cassette tape to work out … Continue reading The Best is Yet to Come
