The delivery person was a middle-aged Russian man named Vitaly, who, instead of waiting patiently at the bottom of my stairs when I buzzed him in, tromped right up them, in his sloppy snowy salty boots,…

Dentistry Induced Erotica
I have been having nightmares almost every single sleepless night for the last 7 1/2 years of my life. Last night was different. In my dream, it was nighttime and I was reclined on the sofa in the waiting room, where there were bay windows overlooking the street. A dentist was sewing up my…

Food For The Soul Washed Down With A Cold Bear…
I’m in a mood. I’m in a mood lately. I’m in a mood lately where so many amazing, fantastic, mind-blowing things are going on around me and doors are opening faster than I can run through them, yet I find myself sitting in a corner licking my wounds and analyzing obsessively the very few…
