I was alone this summer Saturday morning. My wife was out shopping with a friend while I caught up on some work cleaning out the store room in the garage. It was a very useful place to store crap, but all too handy and I finally realized I could hardly get into it let alone find what I needed like my golf clubs or softball gear. The space needed an overhaul...

Never were there two more incompatible people than my college freshman roommate and me. Surprising, given the college required everyone planning to stay in the dorms to complete a lengthy questionnaire so they could match you with someone who had common interests. Having selected your roommate, they sent you his profile in late summer. I was certainly exci...
Once more, Lucas woke to a very painful and throbbing headache. In fact, he was pretty certain that the headache covered every aspect of his body.

The sun fell as Zoe and Grace walked up to the door of their friends' apartment. They'd been invited over on short notice. Usually, Amy liked to plan out their get-togethers a few days in advance. Today, though, she'd just sent them a short text, inviting them over with an unusually chipper "be there or be square!" "Hey, do you hear that?" Grace asked, as t...
