The Needle Drop
I have a little bit of poetry for you all tonight. I wrote this in the summer of 2012, back when I was riding the highs and lows of my romantic attraction to a special friend and triathlon teammate. To my fellow bloggers, writers, and poets: I hope you all find something memorable and captivating … Continue reading The Needle Drop

Eyes of Excruciation – Act 5
Hello followers! I apologize for missing my regularly scheduled installments for the past two Saturdays.

As always, … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 14
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 13
////////// Chapter 13 Riding on a bus on a Saturday morning may not be most people’s idea of a good time, but those people have probably never been part of a guy's track team, either. “Now just chew,” Eric says to Matt Garza, looking like he’s making a move to swallow the ball of granola … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 13
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 12
For those who are wondering about that paper on marital domestic violence, I submitted it for the Charles R.

In … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 12
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 11
Hola! For chapter 11 I rewrote almost the entire first interview, changing the location and the introduction.

I felt professional and made sure to talk about my job … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 11
