Explosions of awakening

I saw light through my closed eye lids and thought it was the sun. It was florescent lights at a gas station. “We’re in Wyoming. You have to drive now. But you’re about to see the most amazing sun rise.” These were the last words I heard from Nick for hours. I got out of [...]

Portland, day two

I woke up early again and hit the cafe to write. Once Nick made it downstairs, we tried to go walk, but I still wasn’t feeling too well. We parted ways for lunch. I ended up back at the cafe and once we reconvened, I wanted to check out a music store. The baristas had [...]

You don’t really sweat while you are working out, but once you stop, Niagra Falls comes out of your pores. The weather here is like the Joker too. In the matter of five minutes, [...]
