An Artist’s Nightmare
Posted in My Thoughts on Writing on July 18, 2011 | 10 Comments »
My art is writing, and this is happening to me right now. However, it could happen to anyone who creates, so I titled the post for all of us. I bought myself a thumb drive a year or so ago so I could save my writing on a portable device and open it on any [...]

Last week, I took a real life, actual vacation for the first time in a very long time. I took an entire week off and did nothing substantial (no reading or writing, even) and we spent a few days in Atlanta. The main purpose of going there was to visit Chris’ daughter while she visited [...]

(NOTE: This post was originally published yesterday under the title “Corporate Responsibility – Subway’s Willing Failure” however, based on events that have just developed, I felt it imperative to update the post with the new information about Nike’s re-signing of Michael Vick, because in my opinion this is a MUCH bigger issue than Subway.
