People ask me how I am doing after my wife Laura’s death last month and it’s a question I am unable to answer at the moment. I appreciate that people ask me. I am grateful that they ask. But so many things - suffocating sadness, (1/3)

Here is a link to the obituary of my wife Laura, who passed away last week after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer. It will probably be the most difficult thing I will ever have to write in my lifetime. www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/s...

Life can be so weird and unusual. As my wife stops her chemotherapy and transitions into hospice care, I’m finding odd comfort in rewatching the first season of Squid Game. I’m not sure why. With so much racing through my mind, I’m looking for solace in something that previously entertained me.

More than an hour into Emilia Pérez and I’m struggling to get through this film. So far I’m not understanding the praise it’s been getting. Why is it a musical? The musical numbers are rather bad and they’re shot and choreographed in mostly boring ways. (1/2)

For any Texas journalists who maybe haven't been following this: Slipped into the big defense funding bill is a tiny provision that would bar Tricare from covering trans healthcare for minors. It's the first big post-election fight over trans issues.
