November 22, 2016 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. For the longest time, there were tiny demons in his brain. They had sharp teeth. He would line up to kick a field goal, and the little devils would start to eat. They would chew away at his swagger, his confidence. They would gnaw on his self-believe. They would gorge, and they […]

November 15, 2016 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. I like Mike Evans. Really, I do. I voted for Hillary Clinton. To be honest, I did. And yet, I cannot get behind Evans’ protest Sunday of Trump’s election. I simply cannot. It’s hard to be part of a chorus when the lead singer has sacrificed his voice, To be honest, I […]
