For the past 15 years I have been a drinker, and it has cost me most of the relationships in my life. The people around me have been scared both of me and for me. When I drink, I often lose control, and no matter how many times I’ve tried to moderate, when I’m in,…

Damian was one of a kind. People say that about people they know, but he truly was an original, probably bordering on odd. I don’t know any man in his 30s who drinks sherry like an elderly British woman while petting his cat. Bond villaindom aside, Damian had an endless capacity for information. There is…

Every day, at around the same time, I go to my local Starbucks and I purchase a Venti or Trenta iced black coffee, unsweetened, light ice.

I was a patient kid. I know that may come as a shock to many of you, and it’s a startling admission I’d normally only make if the magazines paid the right price. I remember being really good at waiting. Waiting in the doctor’s office. Waiting for certain shows to come on. Waiting my turn.…
