All Things Spooky
What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street? I’m going to heavily modify this question today because I don’t think I’ve ever found anything very interesting on the street in my entire life. Seriously. All the good stuff is either picked up before I get to it or people just don’t drop… →

Little Kindnesses
There is so much kindess in the world. It’s hard to see sometimes especially in the political climate we have going on in the U.S. right now. But there is kindness. For this particular question, I could pick any of the things Josh has done for me over the years. I could talk about any… →

Real Tears
5Ws Wednesday Sometimes on Threads, there will be a post where somebody asks what celebrity death caused us to cry actual tears.

Family Dining
My oldest sister, Jenny–she goes by Jen, and has for years, but I haven’t outgrown calling her Jenny, she allows it– she was in my city yesterday and the day before. She and her family live in Cleveland, Ohio but every year they spend a week in August at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Where I… →

One More Chance Tom!
I initially wanted to skip this prompt today because we’ve had quite a few book prompts lately, but I’ll take this opportunity to update you on my beef with Tom Perrotta. In my post, What’s with that ending?, I discuss how I have read a book by Tom Perrotta and also watched a miniseries based… →
