Reza and I were standing in the kitchen yesterday when she came up to me, dipped her head, and gave me the longest hug she’s allowed since she was about eight years old. We stood there and swayed for a while as she softly cried, trying not to sniffle and unable to keep the tears […]
Kobe Bryant died today sitting next to his daughter, Gianna, in a helicopter on their way to a basketball game he was to coach in Thousand Oaks. It was pretty foggy in LA this morning. I was never a Kobe guy. Hell, I’ve hated the Lakers for years. But the dude was a multi-generational talent […]
Sarah is in the kitchen making roast chicken. Reza is on the couch, scrolling through social media. Jon Hopkins’ Recovery is on the needle. I can hardly contain my happiness. I’ll write a bit more later about the craziness of the last week, but today? This is an important day and it’s been absolutely amazing. […]
Shit, that was a long title. *shrug* Wow, ok, where to begin. Reza is currently laying in her bedroom under the ceiling fan being a teenager stroking her social media. Honestly, I don’t mind.

Yeah, so things are, as is typical, good in places, not-so-good in others. I’m back from visiting Sarah; got back in Sunday night. That flight isn’t so bad anymore, but I don’t remember it being a full six hours to get back to the West Coast. That shit is like international travel business in that, […]
My new office chair arrived today. Reza asked about how much it cost and I lied to her, told her it was cheaper than it actually was. She’s been very money conscious lately and the last thing I wanted her to do was to compare and contrast against the space her mom is in. Not […]
Long distance relationships are hard, I’mma just say that right now. We are extremely fortunate to see each other as often as we’re able and even then it can be quite a long time in between. Juggling her schedule, my schedule, fitting and squeezing in a handful of days here and there, trying to avoid […]
