It’s a friendly (not intrusive) – tolerant, gentrified (not snobby) part of the city.

To Be Destroyed

To Be Destroyed

To Be Destroyed – these words are synonymous with the happier “put to sleep” – the not so nice “put down” or the commonly accepted “euth listed”  or “death row dogs and cats”. It’s as if we are speaking about goods in a hardware store – “just go down aisle 3 and you’ll find your “put down” on the right hand side – third shelf from the bottom.

Progress Report

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 22, 2004 – Perhaps I’m destined to have chubby thighs for the rest of my life. My days of sleek gams and a flat stomach appear to be over.
