  • Have You Met Me?

    Between gigs, I found myself in a foreign country, free to discover what I’d never seen. Enjoying the sounds and smells of an urban marketplace, I sampled exotic food at different stalls. The people were friendly. They smiled while describing their wares. But I didn’t know the language. It sounded like chatter. I spotted a fellow American approaching. His head bobbed over the sea of humanity. I often encountered countrymen when traveling abroad. Careful to avoid fast friendships, I’d found developing trust demands an investment of time. But I nearly always enjoyed greeting them and trading st...rIIone door

    Tacos Interrupted

      I am  walking with my sister Molly to the local Tom Thumb grocery store for taco fixings. We offered to make dinner for our family today.  I’m just a year older than Molly and a bit taller too.

"Do you... do you think that the fish knows that the bears the enemy?" "Christ! We're not doing this again. Always these dumb questions and hypotheticals. Did you even hear a single thing I said?" "Right, because ywww.onedoor.ccou're so considerate and comprehensible while you're yelling at me." I did hear him. I always hear him. I always strive to do exactly what he says but for some reason I always fall short. If only I was as perfect as people used to mock me for ...rIIone door
