I’m A Terrible Parent and Proud of It
I’m a terrible parent. Just a few weeks ago I left my kid stuck in a tree in our yard for an hour. She wasn’t very high, her head barely reached past mine, but she was stuck. Both my wife and I figure that some harm will happen to our children so we try not […]
How I Keep Creating
My friend Chris asked how you keep writing. I don’t find this question hard. How do you keep doing anything you find valuable, you schedule time to do it. I keep writing by scheduling time to write almost every day of the week. There is no secret. Inspiration isn’t the key. Sit down and write…

When Do We Stop Supporting Someone
