She said she built a wall against me, dared me to get over it. She thought that was it, maybe. “I’m just looking for something simple,” she said. “Amazing how few cars are here at night,” I said. There were four lanes, all empty. I wished the mexican place was still open. “Is that okay?” [...]

Canada’s history magazine is called “The Beaver.” I would hate to do google image searches for past articles. ——- My brother sent me an e-mail that he was checking out at the grocery store and the clerk saw his ID and said, “Oh, are you related to Tim Sullivan!?” My brother said yes, that we [...]

I bought the fancy orange juice at the grocery store today, the one in the glass bottle that isn’t from concentrate. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to get my oj fix. Groggy, I reached into the fridge, reached for the glass bottle, and instead chugged down eight ounces of [...]

Hey all, I apologize for my absence. It’s been quite the little journey. My Ma, my Pa, Jeremy, and I shuttled our new friend Craig the U-haul trailer all the way from north to south, from Chicago, Illinois to Austin, Texas. On the way… The arch over St. Louis overlooking the grand Mississip, gateway from east [...]

Summer in Chicago.

This is the bean. People made fun of it when it was being constructed and complained about all their tax dollars going toward some stupid sculpture. (Granted, it ended up costing around 23 million of those hard earned dollars.) But then everyone realized that it is the coolest thing ever. Here’s what it looks like [...]
