I am traveling south to help my family in Texas because their home was basically destroyed during Hurricane Harvey. Two years later they are still rebuilding, and they can still use an extra set of hands. Along the way, I plan on making a few stops, including a stint in a clinical trial in Madison and a week or so in Nashville to visit my old childhood friend. I love to dance (some say I look like spaghetti when I dance. so what. still love it) and to have long conversations about the mysteries of the Universe. The best times in my life are the times when I'm writing consistently, but sometimes I forget that. Happily, now is not one of those times :)

I'm no chef, but I am a line cook, and I'm more than happy to whip you up the dankest of breakfasts in the event I end up surfing on your couch!
