If you’ve been following my work, “The Agoraphobic Journals” may sound familiar. The original three part series, which you can read by clicking here, has always been one of my favorite things that I’ve written. It got a good response when I originally posted it, so I’ve decided to expand on those ideas. It’s going to have the same general […]
I’m writing this from a hotel as a warning to anyone that might be making a cross country trip. We’re driving from Seattle to Wisconsin, and last night we were in the middle of nowhere. The fact that Kimmy and I both have a lack of any proper sleep schedule meant that we’d decided to forego a hotel and just […]
So we just got back from this little mini-vacation, and I wanted to get this written down (typed out) while it’s still fresh in my mind, not that it’s like to go away any time soon. Myself, my wife Kimmy, and our friends Ryan and Alyssa (also a couple) decided to go on a little trip up north from where […]
I want to tell you about Colin Campbell. Colin and I went to school together since kindergarten, with third grade being the only year of elementary school that we weren’t in the same class. Up until sixth grade, he was as normal a kid as you’d ever seen. He played sports, he had a sizable social circle, he got good […]
So I work at a cemetery. Pinelawn Memorial Park to be exact. My family has owned it for nearly five generations, and I’ve been working there since I was 12 (officially since I was 15). Cemeteries, I know, are sort of inherently creepy, and despite my family being in the…dead…people…business(?) since long before I was born, I still have always found […]
I just recently moved back to my hometown after graduating from college and working out of state for a few years. I went on a tour of my old stomping grounds, stopping at my old high school, a few of my first jobs, a couple old hangouts my friends and I used to frequent, and generally just took a quick […]
I know a number of people for whom online dating has led to lasting, meaningful relationships, many still going strong as I write this. A close member of my extended family met his wonderful wife online, so please don’t take this as a criticism of the entire subject. My situation is just a bit…different. Please don’t take this as me […]
Part 3 I didn’t sleep that night at the motel. When Kimmy awoke the following morning, I showed her the picture of the house on Google Earth, but she pointed out the most logical answer: that since the house was in such a rural area, chances are the surveying hadn’t been done in some time, and that the house on […]
Part 1 Part 2 2000 Camp Minnetonka was like any other summer camp, and this particular trip was to last a week. I sat towards the rear of the bus and quickly joined a conversation between a group of boys about some popular thing or another. It was those four boys I’d spend the next four days with. The campgrounds […]
Part 1 _____ 1998 Kayla’s parents came to our house a few hours after she’d gone into the house, worried. I’d told my mom about “Kayla’s new house” earlier that day, but my claims that the house had simply “appeared” fell on disbelieving ears. I’d heard Kayla call out to Mike and I, letting us know she’d see us at […]
