There Are Ghosts
Today is 9/11 and there are ghosts. But a lot of us have ghosts. So I’m not alone with mine. I know this. There are a lot of things that remain unsettled when it comes to 9/11 at least for me and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone with that either. I know about the unsettled moments…

Stories Told From Ticket Stubs: The Old 97s.

Down the Hills and Round the Bends
My kids have a lot of Thomas stuff. And over the years, people have commented about it. I always just shrug it off. At best, they’ll think my kids are lucky. At worst, they’ll assume my kids are spoiled brats with far too many Thomas trains. But there’s a story behind why we have so…
