Everything Everywhere All at Once

I saw my best friend alive for the last time 1 month ago yesterday. By 10:00 the next morning, she was gone, and our lives would be turned upside down even more so than they had been just 15 days before when weโ€™d lost another close friend, Vicky, to metastatic breast cancer. Our friend group… Continue reading Everything Everywhere All at Once

Don’t Pet the Crip: She Bites

Aaron and I went out with friends last night to see an 80s band at a great place in Marshfield called Station Eight. Weโ€™d discovered this bar for the first time after a group of us from ALS One went there after the Tucker Toss. I loved it instantly because it was incredibly accessible and… Continue reading Don’t Pet the Crip: She Bites

NKOTB Redux

I thought my epic NKOTB moment had happened back in June 2019 when, while at their concert at the Gahhhden, Joey grabbed my hand for a lift into the audience during a heart-palpitation-inducing rendition of โ€œTonight.โ€ That was epic, but it was, in fact, topped this past July when my cousins, Lauren and Kerri; my… Continue reading NKOTB Redux
