If you have an inkling someone’s an alcoholic by their public facing actions, you don’t know the half of it.

It’s what goes on behind closed doors and the shame, despair, and anxiety that builds until something breaks.

My new essay is up.

This one goes back to my days at the Seattle ad agency, The Wesley School for Girls (seriously).

It starts out weird and funny, and ends in a place I’ve barely talked about.

It’s the hardest essay I’ve published. Link below:

Fifteen years ago, I was such a mess I couldn’t see a way out. Seven years sober now, writing these stories has been cathartic in understanding my path to recovery,

My latest essay on addiction in the workplace.

This weeks essay on addiction and recovery as told through the host of jobs I’ve had. It’s pretty ridiculous and I’d love it if you gave it a read!

My 2nd essay from ‘A Tale of Jobs not Well Done’ is up!

I climbed onto my bathroom ‘ceiling’ to find $1.50, then nearly burned down a Manhattan rooftop with my best friend.

The current 'president' pining away for the Nobel Peace Prize isn't nearly as ironic on its face if you read into the history of Alfred Nobel, its namesake..

Don't get me wrong, its still a ghastly joke, but.

This weekend is a really good time to watch Mountainhead. IT was filmed in March, released in June and supremely timely.

'Economic Musings for Thursday May 22:
Data for today:
**Today is the first heavy economic news day of the week- Mon-Wed was light as well as relatively 'no news' to spook the market (other than yesterdays bad bond auction) and that dumped stocks

Rollercoaster day perhaps
