Legitimate Salvage

At the end of June 2021, my brother texted me the following pictures. He said he was getting one. Almost five years ago, Josh lost Koda. Koda was the Big Brown Dog to Olive the Little Black Dog. Josh finally decided the time was right for another dog. This time…

I’m a Terrorist

Yes, it’s true. I’m a terrorist. Why? Because the government deemed me one. Why? Because I’m anti-fascist. Antifa. Antifa. There it is again. Antifa. Anti-fascist. Against fascism. Anti-racist.

Olive the Little Black Dog

I first met you on August 20th, 2007. You were one day old. And I never imagined just how much you would mean to me. I got to watch you grow up, until the day you would come home with me. That day was October 13, 2007. And we were…

Everything is Canceled

It’s still really difficult to fathom how fast everything has changed over the last two weeks. What’s even more difficult to fathom is how slowly everything has changed over the last two weeks. I don’t even know what to – or how to – compare everything to that is going…
