What Are You Going To Be When You Grow Up?
My five year old asked me that just the other day. Without prompting of any kind. I looked at him, quite seriously, and said, "A Writer." I said, "What about you?" He said, "A Pokemon collector." Now you might not see this as a great career option, but let's face it, there are people who [...]

The Story I Am Telling Myself Is….
