I Killed a Mailbox Today

14 May 2009

If it happened to anyone else it would have been funny. The last thing I remember saying was “Can’t everyone just be quiet!” The last thing I remember doing turning my eyes off the road to fiddle around in the back seat. Next, I felt the curb. I jerked up my head just in time [...]

Standing Still While Speeding My life is hurdling by, at a rate that is most typical. (at least to a young family with two kids and two on the way) Long days that push my strength limits. Longer nights that pull at my eye lids. Fast weeks that provide much change or little change at [...]
