Historical Reminders: For Better Or Worse
If everyone gets rid of the reminders of historical events that offended them, how are we supposed to learn from history? I’m not saying we should rejoice in the horrible things that have happened, but toppling statues is rather passive compared to taking the time to solve problems. It takes…
The Dream From The Night On The Deck
I’m trapped in this metal tube inside a dark closet. This small black dog enters. Somehow he knows how to open the door. Behind him, an old man enters. The dog then proceeds to explain to me in perfect English why I am in that closet, though not how I…

Day Journal People
I like the idea of it, if I could ever remember to do it. The thing is, most of my days are exactly the same. I wake up, I eat breakfast, I go to work, come home for lunch, go back to work, and then come home to eat supper. …
Thank You Extrovert Friends
For letting me practice my listening skills. For hanging out with me even though I’m an introvert. For making me more fun and interesting. For not taking my short answers all the time and encouraging me to elaborate and become better at conversations. For dealing so well with this whole…
