January is funny. New year, fresh starts—and somehow, a little extra time to look back. For me, January always brings up memories of cold mornings, early flights, and one very unlucky cup of coffee that kicked off a journey I never saw coming. As we...
September means another birthday has come and gone; it also means I’ve successfully made it another year without getting married or having kids. As a young boy I assumed, like a lot of people, that the universe would eventually plop me into a life...
My husband is in love and it’s not with me. I was looking at him yesterday and he has big heart eyes, just like the emoji. I caught him holding hands with his new love. Kevin’s new love is an emaciated rescue dog that was pulled by law...
