A Little Ramble for Paid Members Only

Hi from the New Year

Looking like a vaguely horned-up, out-of-uniform front desk attendant at a fire department in a midsize city on a network procedural. Headshot by Jeff Kurysz.

Hi everybody - Greetings from the other side of the holidays! I got Christmas Day off and New Year’s Day off, but otherwise, I’m working and staring into the icy waves of Lake Michigan, wondering what it’s all about and what I’m meant to do and why I can’t motivate myself to just tidy up the house every day.

This paid members-only post was due to you on the last day of the year, but I got caught up in various doings and emotions (frustration, love, dread, fatigue, carbohydrate overload, fear, and the such). Here it is now, on January 2. Thank you for your patience.

Events

I have a couple live events coming up in Chicago quite soon, and would be delighted to see you there. I’ll list that info, and then get to the ramble, which will be a slightly-edited freewrite with an option for you to participate, if you wish.
