Strange Convergances

Something is odd in the universe when we lose Edward Said, George Plimpton (who it turns out, is not the father of Martha, as I had always assumed), and Robert Palmer all in the same day. I don’t know what it means, but it’s just weird.

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.
