Please Stop Using Crack
My brother is supposed to go to detox today. I think he will go. He’s unemployed and will lose his wife if he doesn’t. My bro-in-law sounded the alarm a couple weeks ago after visiting Atlanta.

Booze Bros

Everything was destroyed across metro detroit. However, more digging led to more discoveries of things that were buried. My wife had gone somewhere else, she’d left without…

Hygge
10:44 pm on December 23rd in Northville, MI. I’m seated at my desk looking out the front window. We’re perched at the end of the culd-e-sac. It’s 2 degrees with wind swirling like an out of control parachute. I went outside this morning for five minutes to move some of the patio furniture that’d been…
