It was around two in the morning. I was sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV. My father suddenly appeared. He had on slippers and a pair of underwear that should have been put out of their misery in the mid-nineties. He walked past me, out the front door, out the porch, and into ...

I am gonna tell ya the story of last weekend. To do this, we need to travel back a little bit. In the time of my groovy adolescence, when my peers were playing shoot 'em up games on their little Nintendos or whatever, I was playin' board games. My Ma never allowed video games in my house past ...

At any moment, at any time, I have it in me to walk inside my house and never walk out again. Quarantine was hard for some folks, but for me, it was a nice fall breeze. Why? Because I've done it before, and chances are, I'll do it again. Ya see, as ya know, I am not a normal person. And with ...
