A Quick Reflection on Chicago’s Story Club
Uncommon Ground, what a name for a place that holds readings and folk singers in its tiny alcove corner heart; it is of course a coffee shop and as such I suppose “uncommon” is being used as a differentiator.

What a Fantastic Show! And Congratulations, Natasha!
To those who have been supporting Here’s the Story over the last five months, thank you. Your support for our organization paid off last night in profound stories.

Reasons I Don’t Use the Word Feminist Out Loud
Growing up an early Millennial all my female friends would say, “I’m not a feminist.”
This would follow a string of feminist beliefs they did hold. And I’d say, “Yeah. I’m for all that.” And they’d explain, they didn’t like the…
Today's the last day of my Easter holiday and I'm going to make it a build day.
After probably 25 years of thinking about it, I'm going to finally build myself a website.
Will update this thread as I go.
I am addicted to rock climbing and I hate every minute of it.
For years, I’d poo-pooed rock climbing.
Why wouldn’t I go running instead?
Now that I’ve tried it… I know… running would be way healthier and more efficient. (Swimmers are giving me the, “If you really want a…
