Sometimes dreams do come true.

Desert friendships are different.

You'd do well to copy someone else's homework.

November 22nd — first snow of the season, chest cold, duvet mode. A meditation on how long it takes to build community when you expatriate alone.

Back in Budapest after Ukraine and a summer stateside sorting out the visa. The novel is on page 290, the Bullet documentary is in preproduction, and there's a pile of un-shared media becoming crud.

Sometimes a little patience and humility is all it takes for a place to open up.

The Maccabees have fished this beach for fifty years. Some years, that barely pays the bills.
One year in Budapest, a head cold, and the view from the other side.

The single-most powerful trick to unlock your fullest potential and tell great stories (don't believe this click-bait bullshit, but there might be a few useful kernels in here)...

Good morning.
