  • Somebody jumped in front of the train. I only caught it out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was a suitcase at first. I couldn’t fathom that it could be a person. I actually got on the train but when it didn’t move it dawned on me what had happened and then someone else confirmed it. Everyone just stared at each other in disbelief and then we all silently excited and went on about our way. Fuck, I completely forgot about that.

    Weirdly, when I finally got to my destination there was a nun on a stretcher being rolled out of the building by EMTs. Strange day.


  • Restaurants want people to always tell their server if they have any allergies regardless if it’s in the thing is they are ordering. Not all menu items may list every single ingredient in the description and people have some uncommon allergies. Garlic is ubiquitous and it might in your salad dressing. Tell your server if you are allergic. Plus, cross contamination is a thing and chefs need to know to be mindful. Did nuts come anywhere near that salad? Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.

    Always say something just to be safe.













  • “Are all our prayers answered? Yes, they are. What people who ask that question often don’t realize is that sometimes the answer to our prayer is “no.” Dear God, please make my mother not be crazy. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please let me recover from cancer. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please take away this toothache. God’s answer: alright, but you’re going to be run over by a car.”
