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.
Their grounds are no squelch, popper, or common beans – rather, they serve rarefied coffee. Still, standing outside, my popped tire bicycle racked up, the sign reading “Uncommon Ground” strikes me funny enough to use as a first line here.

To the best of my ability.
There is no escapting cycle.
Ther is no avoiding her.
We are all on our wedding day,
ery time,
bitten by the snake.
We will be rescued,
Almost,
And we will turn
To salt.
Remember this play, remember
The west between the Railroad and
Civilization is a place where the snakes were lost.

Janna Sobel, God, I love the way you write. She was graced with a headlining slot along with Dennis Frymire at Story Club. I am not the only Janna follower. When I arrived, she was already flanked by the luscious Brandie Madrid and her paramour, Matt. Here is the postcard I brought with me.

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. That spirit of communication and spectacle was present and everyone at last night’s show was a participator in the back and forth, the give and take of telling and listening.
I didn’t get a chance to say it out loud, but 50 points for 5 storytellers is intentional. A couple people sought fit to give all tens and I appreciate that sentiment. Between the walk up story swappers and the featured tellers it was an incredible onslaught tour de force of A game. The show made me quake. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Though you may also see last month’s score sheet due to us having a few left over, I wanted to preview the score card redesign today.

If you went to the Moth last night, you may have seen one of our constituents passing these out. If you got one, you may have read the back.

I Have Anger Management Issues.
Bullies hate bullies.
I am in the Jewel picking up lunch for my nephew. I’m listening to the book, “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone,” by therapist, Lori Gottlieb. I’m at the part where the jerk therapy client breaks down and reveals the
When you ask if you're hungry, I have a friend who says, "I can always eat or not eat."
My quip is, "You can always live on less than you think you can."
If you run across this tweet and feel up for it, tell me a story of surviving on less than you ever thought possible.
When I was a little boy, my mother would take me to the Carmelite Nuns in Michigan and they’d tell me about how they were praying for me. My mother would say, “Pray that he becomes a priest. I’ve always thought, one of my boys was meant to be a priest.”
Now that she’s gone… I…
