Reality is hard — I was at a place where I didn’t want to be what I was. And even after I quit drinking I stayed that way for a long time — Alcoholics have an overly aggrandized idea of who they are in the world that’s at odds with…

After trying Notion for almost 2 years and picking up Thomas Frank’s Notion templates at the beginning of this year, I think I’m going to have to go back to paper planners. This is no slight to Notion or Thomas’s templates; they’re fantastic, but I don’t think my brain can…

The plan was to record these 5 songs and use the as a demo to sign on with a label and make the rest of the record, but they stand pretty well on their own. At the time this was made, my Dad had died the previous January, Theresa and…
