Thoughts from the 2:37 bus for Amalfi

A young woman’s coat has claimed the last free seat on the bus. Incredulous, you would later comment that it was rude of her not to move it. But, hanging on with both hands as the bus trundled along the too-tight turns, I only thought about how proud I was of you.

New article on Nation.Cymru

Separated by five years and a day, the events of January 6, 2021 and January 7, 2026 will remain stamped in the memories of Americans for a generation.

Both wanting and meaning

I recently unearthed my high school journal, and turned the pages all the way back to the start: August 25, 2004. My list of goals for my junior year of high school included everything from beating video games, to proselytizing.
