12.02.14 Joe, you knew that no matter how much I loved you I always knew that you loved me more. You knew that, right. You also must have known that anyone who had any sense of you and of us they also knew that I could never love you as much as you loved me. And I was and am okay with that. Your loving me more was the cocoon that made me un-killable. No matter how many times … [Read more...] about More
The Accidental Bar Owner
12.01.14 Sometime after you died I became the accidental bar owner.

I had nearly died too many … [Read more...] about Bad Teacher

234711.29.14 Dear Joe It's been 2,347 days since we last talked. 2,347 is prime. I had a feeling it might be a prime so I checked. 29 is also prime.
