Life is like a grapefruit
Stand and deliver
Image via Wikipedia I have a bank account! But not just any account, oh no. I have a bank account with Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo that was formed in the mid-nineteenth century amid the gold rush in California. The one that is obsessed with stage coaches, pioneering and horses. They are definitely staying true […]

Apparently, according to Mirto, I write better when I’m tired. If so, this should post should be comedy gold! I started writing that we’re one day in to our San Francisco life, but I think it might have been two. Between the waking at odd hours and the naps in between brief periods of wakefulness, […]

Letter from America
The last time we left him, our hero was boarding a Singapore Air plane bound for San Francisco. Let’s see what happened next. The Singapore Air experience was, as always, fantastic.

Learning to fly
I started my novel today. It’s part of the NaNoWriMo project to write 50,000 words in a month that I have mentioned previously. In the few hours since I began, I have managed to write 372 words. Given that I should be writing 1,667 a day, and that I’m aiming for 2,000 a day to […]

The anxiety of an absence of anxiety
Yesterday, the packers finished packing up and left us with a mostly empty apartment. This moment also signifies the end of the week of stress. It means that everything we had to do before being ready to move on Tuesday is done. You’d think that this feels fantastic, right? The trouble is that I’ve become […]
