It's been a primary frustration of mine for quite some time that Donna seems to be, sometimes deliberately, unaware of key moments and opportunities for intimacy and closeness. I'm not talking about sex here either. Well,...

I am consumed with tired anxiety today. The opening of my show approaches quickly and with each rehearsal comes confidence in my role but also an extremely unnerving increase in the anxious reality that there will be...

This was the view from my bed just as I woke up today.

Notice the amount of ambient light as well as the fact that the clock doesn't read anything like 7:30.

Every now and then a few people from the office get together for a beer after work. It's never a formal affair and it's not always the same exact group of people. It's more one of those, hey if anyone wants to go for a...

A few months ago my grandfather commented that, while the Jordan River temple was active and busy, other temples worldwide sat relatively idle. Some are open only a few days a month and even then, I'm told, activity is...

James E. Faust is dead. I feel almost obligated to comment but honestly, I have no strong feelings on the subject whatsoever. But it seems to be dominating the local news and has even permeated into the office banter...

The last time I performed on stage in front of an audience I was in my twenties. That was more than four years ago. People have told me that getting back in the swing of things will be like riding a bike and, in the sense...

Donna and I have a very bipolar relationship. Duh. We swing from manic to depressive states, sometimes very suddenly, in a shockingly regular cycle.

Obviously, the past few days we were in the valley of the wave....

Saturday went exactly as predicted. Exactly.

Afterwards, all the in-laws came by for what was, I assume, a planned...
