If the DBacks are eliminated from the playoffs on the day after they finished their 162nd game for the 2nd time in 3 years, it's going to be a real bummer.

You have to stay in one box for the rest of your life. Which one are you picking?

Stop turning structural problems into men's personal failings! This was the enitrely predictable result of the decline of the whale fishery.

Had the opportunity to speak with ASU’s undergraduate advanced fiction workshop today. I remember the speakers I had in my workshops when I was an undergrad at ASU, so it was a total full circle moment.
