Whoever said the first time was the hardest never tried to write a second book.
In a word, this entirely introspective, spastic, and enlightening experience may be summarized in three letters. ARG. Writing book two feels like I’m strapped down on a table enduring Chinese water torture that is percolating right through my forehead and out […]

Sometimes You Have to Go Away To Come Home
May 16th, 2008 · Comments Off
A lot of us move to D.C. never expecting to call it home. It’s the city people come to for metropolitan opportunities and cosmopolitan experiences. Or just to escape. For all of those reasons, I was one of those people. Then Belize happened, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Six years ago, I left the rolling […]

Bets on Brides?
May 5th, 2008 · 4 Comments
This past week I was female deputized. In other words, I was asked to be a bridesmaid.
While this may be a normal event in most twenty-something’s lives, it is not in mine. In fact, family and friends have actively counseled one another against my involvement. Perhaps it is because I hate weddings. Perhaps it is […]

The Longest Book Title. Ever.
May 2nd, 2008 · Comments Off
How To Get to Heaven or Hell Without Going Through Dallas-Fort Worth is the alternative title for Kinky Friedman’s Guide to Texas Etiquette, an anthropological study meets comedic satire on, you guessed it, Texans. This jewel of an airplane ride read includes things you would never hear a real Texan say, final meal requests from […]
GW Ten Miler: Head takes Knees in a 10 Round Face Off
April 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments
There’s nothing like introspective awareness and existential angst at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Particularly when it comes in the form of ten grueling miles and one’s knees screaming a question for the last, oh yes, ten miles~WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? I know, Thomas Jefferson had famous conversations between the head and heart. […]

Dolphins? Please. I swim with barracudas.

After all, I am from D.C. And yes, it is true, lawyers and sharks do mix.
All jokes aside, losing one’s lunch in a “resort” outhouse 55 miles from the nearest continent was not the highlight of my Belize adventure vacation. Snorkeling in crystal clear Caribbean waters, watching sunrises and sunsets on a nearly deserted island, and […]

From Expulsion to Law School. Enter Book Two.
April 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Few schools would have taken a chance on a student like me. Not many schools want a student recently expelled from another Christian college, regardless of the reason. Eastern Mennonite University, for better or worse, gave me a chance to start over, granting my request for admission as a junior in the fall of 2000.
Upon […]
