While out to lunch with a roommate I hadn't seen in 27 years, she mentioned between bites of her chicken salad sandwich that her first memory at age 3 was watching her mother try to commit suicide by setting herself on fire.

I still cry every time I think about the racoon lying in the middle of the road that turned his head to look at me as I passed in my car.

I remember distinctly the last time my daddy told me he was proud of me, because I think that's the last time I'm ever going to hear it.

Sitting at my desk I think of the days before the minivan and can almost smell the beer drenched microphone.

I'm committed to making lemonade, but I often wish I could pinpoint the moment when I settled for lemons.
