Q (2)

As I mentioned in the last post, Q was about asking questions. In this post, I don’t want to answer the softball questions like, “Did you have a good time?” “Did you like it?” “Was it cool?” I want to explore bigger questions like, “What was the underlying message of the conference?” “What did IContinue reading “Q (2)”

Q

Q is a letter. Q is also the name of a conference. The leader of the Q conference said that Q stands for questions, because the focus of the conference is asking questions, not giving answers. It’s not called A. It’s called Q. So I went to the Q conference, and I asked people questions. I don’t likeContinue reading “Q”

Jack

I like Jack. Without providing any context, you have no idea what or who I’m talking about. I could be expressing my homosexual love for a man named Jack.

We exchanged thoughts about life, about Baby, about friends. Friends are great. Thinking about them makesContinue reading “Friends”

For the next week or so, until the new charger arrives in the mail, this will be my habit. I will be operating my digital life from a campus computer. Sad,Continue reading “How a Cord Can Change Your Life”

“Daddy” Fears (2)

Yesterday I learned we’re having a girl. This is exciting news. Especially since everyone thought we were having a boy. But this is also frightening news. Now I’m calculating prices for ballet lessons, for prom dresses, for a wedding. Let’s not forget this girl will need pink everything–princess costumes, a hundred pairs of shoes, aContinue reading ““Daddy” Fears (2)”
