Apples
Today I was reminded of a story involving the danger of too many apples. I graduated college a semester early. That meant for any of my friends engagement parties or bachelorette weekends or weddings I had to travel back to school on my own. I was headed to Kentucky for my roommate’s wedding when I…

Memories
When I was a kid, I would check out dozens of books at a time from the library. One summer I read every Nancy Drew book in their collection. Another summer it was the babysitters club. I remember one day sitting in my living room with 10 chapter books, Simple chapter books, and just reading…

My Column: Stories from High School
When I was in high school I took journalism and eventually became a writer for the editorial page. A friend and I made a column called “Fonzie Says” about Fonzie from Happy Days. He gave a thumbs up to things I liked and a thumbs down to things I didn’t. My senior year of high…

Why Do They Do This?
If you wanted to write a book or a script that would frustrate me beyond all reason it would need to include these things… 1. A nonsensical time leap. Probably towards the end. Skipping ahead a year or more. Leaving you with an unsatisfying ending and a million questions. (Ex: Clean With Passion for Now…

Stardust: Cycle Tracker
This one is for the ladies. If you are interested in an app that tracks your cycle and has a ton of information I recommend Stardust. A friend just recommended it to me and it’s great. If you add a certain number of friends, then you can have it free for a year. I found…
