  • Dutch Lock Down Day Seventeen

    At least I don’t have to think of a new title every day #AMIRITE

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Sixteen

    “There are little signs here and there that I’m cracking up. I started drinking coca-cola instead of sprite. I’m eating candy bars like they’re, well, candy. And when I wake up in the night, I can’t easily go back to sleep.”

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Fifteen

    “Two WEEKS, Warriors. Is it starting to feel ‘normal’ for you? I think it might be for me? Maybe?”

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Fourteen

    “But also I’m not as depressed today as I was a few days ago when I wrote those dark thoughts. I continue to get better and stabilize. Sure, it’ll get worse, too, but for now I’m enjoying the upswing and figuring out how to minimize the next dip.”

    “I’m doing much better now. Whether it was because I hit a ‘bottom’ or that the funeral is passed or because it’s such a gorgeous sunny day out, I managed to get out of bed, shower, get dressed, and do a little work.”

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Six

    Something’s wrong with the bread maker and things aren’t rising quite as much as they used to and if that isn’t just a metaphor for the new reality, I don’t know what is.

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Five

    We’ve abandoned our trip south as Spain and Italy lie in transit and the planes lie dormant in the hangar. This satire / sarcasm / alt-world section is REALLY difficult to write when The Cabin In The Woods is playing in the background. I think part of the reason why I’ve always found horror movies…

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Four

    Dutch Lock Down Day Four “We’ve sold the house, the car, and all but the essentials and are moving to an undisclosed island on the equator to wait this out.”
