Rest In Peace

My musings on what I consider to be a pretty strange thing we say to the dead.

A Scene From the Month of November

“This is it. Now we’re gonna be orphans,” she said to her brother, lighting up a cigarette. She was referring to the death of their father, which was taking place as they spoke. She ran into her brother while leaving the hospice wing of the Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was sitting on a curb […]

This Week In…

…songs I didn’t realize I was listening to because of TV.

Living in Memory

These are all songs that helped me cope in one small way or another, and I think anyone who’s experienced any kind of loss can appreciate at least a few of these.
