New Month, Old Injury
Welcome to October – the month of Halloween, the true ushering in of Autumn, all of the pumpkin (please make it stop, I’m just not a fan of the pumpkin onslaught) and the revisitation of my back injury.

A good friend of mine and I went on a crazy car ride one night and we heard this song about a zillion times and now every time I hear it, I […]

Today’s Tune is Everclear’s “Wonderful”. Every single time I hear this song, I get chills. I’m a child of divorce but I don’t remember the circumstances before the divorce. I don’t remember my parents ever being together so in some ways I’m very lucky. Many people aren’t lucky in that respect.
