Life is funny. I didn’t even like children before we had one. But since then, well, let’s just say that I tend to gravitate to kids more than adults in mixed social settings. I think this is because I never completely transitioned out of childhood. And it took having a child of my own for me to realize it. Since Agatha was a little girl, we’ve played together. Hard. Whether that meant creating adventures with little plastic animals on the…
Life is a path. And from the moment we’re born until the day we die, we’re on it. We don’t always see the path. Hell, most of us don’t even realize we’re moving along one. But we are. And it’s not the same path for any of us. Though they are all relative. They all move you through life. Until they end. And you expire. As children, our paths are determined for us.

I just killed Foursquare. I went down to the pawn shop and bought a big buck knife; then came home, donned camouflage face paint, jumped off of my couch and landed on my phone – slamming the knife down with both hands.

I’m done with ‘checking in.’ I’m…
