“Somebody stabbed me with a screwdriver!” These words traveled with a ten-person entourage on their way through the ER doors last Friday morning at 2AM. Geoff and I were at the ER because he had a 103 fever and was coughing up blood. Not coughing up blood in a Robert Shaw at the end of [...]

I Am Not a Girl
I’ve never categorized myself as a girl. In fact, I’ve never even felt like a girl. I recognize myself as a “woman” and as “Lauren”, but not a “girl”.
