Scuba Keg & Other Bad Ideas
June 25, 2020
It was my neighbor’s college graduation party. He was my kid brother’s best friend, and like a brother to me as well. As was his older brother, Wes, who was my age. It was destined to be a wild night. It wasn’t quite yet summer, but the weather felt it was. The pool was open.

The Taste of You & Insect Genocide
June 17, 2020
This is a strange thing to admit to, though I suppose I’ve revealed more bizarre things about myself. Sometimes when I’m in my car after a surf session, hair a curly mess, salt dried on sun kissed skin, Ray Bans on, music loud, I coast down Ocean Parkway and I lick my arm because I

Frogs are among many of Mother Nature’s creatures that fascinate me and I find adorable in their own little weird way. Did you know that when a frog ejects it’s tongue and munches on an insect, it then blinks, it’s eyes are pushed in, helping the frog digest it’s meal?. Out on Long Island where

When This Is Finally Over
June 1, 2020
“Do you believe in soul mates?” She asks as she kicks back her drink, dusting sand off her leg. My shoulders are starting to burn but I don’t mind. In fact, I like it. The smell of the ocean, the tanning oil. “Yes.” “Really? You?” “Yes, but…” there’s always a ‘but’ with me, “my Aunt

Would You Go To Utah With Me?

“And it’s a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace And a wound that will never heal No prima donna, the perfume is on An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street sweepers The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight, Mathilda too” —Tom Traubert’s Blues, Tom Waits Would

Nature – It’s Terrifying Out There
May 20, 2020
If I’m known for anything, let it be that I am obsessed—to a border line mental illness—with nature documentaries. Not only do I watch them more than I watch anything on TV, I often watch the same ones over and over. I love learning and I’m continuously in awe of nature’s wonder. For all of

Deserving?
May 15, 2020
“How do we feel about this…” the start of a six part message too early on a Tuesday morning in a group chat to three of my most trusted advisors/friends/fellow artists… “A ‘fan’ wants to Venmo me money. He says he is fortunate enough to still be working and has decided to divide up his

Nancy, There’s Bugs Outside
May 7, 2020
Caught in a rabbit hole of home videos transferred onto a flash drive from my Dad, I lay in bed all night remembering and reliving memories of what feels like a long time ago. One of the sweeter moments is when my sister is holding Mitch for the first time (Lisa would be 4 and

Jumping Up and Down with Excitement
April 28, 2020
Anthony, my five year old nephew, gets really excited watching action movies, so much so, he gets off the couch to jump up a down. It mirrors how I used to react, when I was younger. “I don’t remember you jumping up and down,” Lisa, my older sister says. “That’s because you would yell at

We Were Invincible.
April 19, 2020
We were invincible children with toothpick arms and legs, ducking under waves taller than us, dropping in on peaks with smiles on our faces as we wiped out on shore. We were invincible climbing trees, riding bikes and jumping off swings as high as we could, scraped knees cleaned and cartoon band-aids from Mom, also
