Power of One

When I was 8 or 9 we lived in Zephyrhills, Florida for awhile. We actually lived there a few times, I don’t remember what installment this was from, my sister might. That’s not the point though. We were living at a dropzone called Skydive Phoenix, named so because it had burned down and was rebuilt [...]

Inevitable

J: You know that overhead storage shelf I want to get for the garage?
K: Yeah
J: I was thinking… those aren’t that complicated and we have some wire panels left over from the dog kennels. I could probably just make one. All I would need is some…

Another Day in Paradise

Lawn Girl

I’ve only mowed a lawn twice in my life. The first time I was about 14 and living in Wyoming. The lawn at the farm is about 10,000 square feet and we had a riding mower. When I was done my dad said it looked like a drunken sailor mowed it. I never had to [...]
