Favorite Weather
What is your favorite type of weather? I lived in Portland, Oregon for a year and a half. The summer months were warm and rainy. Despite being overcast a lot of the time it was usually bright in the day. The weather I like the most was those days that were overcast but not raining,…

My Choir Teacher
Who was your most influential teacher? Why? In high school my choir teacher was Mr. Loy. He was a big man with a big heart. He was good at his job both as a teacher and as a choir master. He was both funny and grumpy most of the time. He put up little signs…

Consume and Reproduce

Fake Milk Dream
I had a dream that someone I didn’t know was cleaning our kitchen. I was being nitpicky about it. I noticed that there was a gallon of milk in our garbage can. I knew the milk in the house was fresh so I took it out. But it was clearly labeled “Fake Milk.” I poured…
