The Exclusive States of America
I admit it. I have blinders on and see life through a limited field of vision. I view the world through the lens of the theater, teaching and running, and I apply what I’ve learned through these visions of the world to the parts I do not belong to.

A Bike Ride of Faith
Some people ride bikes and some people are cyclists. Some people jog and some people are runners. Some people eat food and some are foodies. I think you see my point. The list is not exhausted by any means. I am going to take a leap and try to make the analogy fit for politics…

Maga and the NotTrumpers
I have never been a binary thinker or consumer. From day one I went left when everyone went right and on day two, when everyone went right, I went straight. It is just how I am. I accept that I don’t fit in all the time now. It took until my 30s to get a…

Dear Bean Counters
Dear Bean Counters, I hope you continue to do your job well. Whoever you are, you are the masters of apathy. Well done. You give people just enough hope that social mobility is achievable and within reach. Just look at airports for example. First and business class are luxuries that most of us will never…

On the Fence Party
In 2024 I am running for president of the USA. I am running as a third party. Currently, my party has one member. Me. We, if you choose to join, are called the On the Fence party. Why? Because that’s how I would best categorize my constituent base. A fence voter, someone with no binary…
