It’s 3:59 a.m. on a Thursday in March, and I’m finally winding down for the night after a very busy evening working. I wrote a large section of a chapter of my memoir.

Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose” Saved Me From Sadness
So it’s late on Friday night, around 5am, and I’m chilling in my kitchen. I’ve got the lights out, and I’m sitting by the big window. I’ve got the Google Home blasting, and I’m just trying to get through the night and fight off a slightly sad mood.… Continue Reading

I leave my apartment in Astoria, Queens around 6 pm on Friday night. I’m headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. I love the Met, but it’s been about six months since I’ve been there, and I miss it.… Continue Reading
Will You Marry Me Jennifer Garner?

A Night By The Window
Tonight was an important night for me. I finally wrote the essay I’ve been dying to write for years about the US invasion and occupation of Iraq.
