The tourist traps are empty
vacancy abounds
Almost like it used to be
Before the circus came to town.”

Dear Reader, 

It’s a beautiful morning here on Block Island. There are large, white, and puffy clouds in the sky that remind me more of a Kansas plain than a July summer in the Northeast. I’m drinking a coffee at…

Good Friends,

In early June, I returned to my home in Rhode Island from Texas with a deep appreciation for my experience throughout the month of May.

After the moving and enlightening process of running a Kickstarter campaign, I got…
