About Me

My mother is a painter. My father is a symphony conductor. My grandmother was a pro-choice republican. My grandfather was an Episcopal priest. I was five years old when we got our very first VCR in 1985, and the first thing my parents taped was Tina Turner’s HBO concert special, for me. By age 9, I had formed a coffee habit, which didn’t bother my mother in the slightest because she felt I was merely being Scandinavian. That should explain just about everything.

The Easter Season: A Reverse Lent?

I'm conducting an existential experiment, partially inspired by an astrologist. Lent is a 40 day period of penitence, (most people exclude Sundays; I don't, thus it takes more like 50 days), that...
