• Nothing New With Deja Vu

  I’d done this before. Many times. Some things never change. Soccer tournaments in another city. A weekend in a hotel filled with players in muddy cleats and soccer parents wearing team shirts.

• All Fired Up About Something

  I’m not adverse to creativity. Give me a computer or pen and paper, and thoughts flow. Writing is a form of imaginativeness I can enjoy. Words are tools that produce inventive pictures. Hand me a paintbrush and a piece of pottery and I feel like a monkey being handed a violin and being told to play.…
