Listen to Your Mother (and me, too)
A couple months ago, I threw caution to the wind and submitted a piece to the San Francisco Listen to Your Mother show. Then, a couple weeks later I showed up in person and read my own writing out loud. It was fairly awkward in that “do one thing that scares you” kind of a way.

We met at Alt, but didn’t really get to talk until we shared a cab with Melissa to the airport. What a doll. She’s so easy to talk with and I just wanted to sit down over a cup a tea and chat the morning away. Instead we hauled our tired selves through security and parted ways with hugs and promises of next year, next Read More →
