A Love Letter To Tyler Nixon
My Darling Tyler, I was so disappointed I couldn’t call in to the Rick Jensen Show yesterday. Needless to say, I rarely listen to Mr. Jensen, but just the thought of you hosting the show – with that melodious radio voice – sent my heart racing. But in between my sighs (and errands and kids […]
Self-Control Issues
I have largely stayed out of the whole “bring your guns to the rally” movement. I think it’s dumb and I think that it is a form of intimidation, but I’m not too worked up about it.
