I made a point of riding the Santa Train on Friday night. It showed up late (this is the CTA after all), and I was so cold I thought my heart would stop. But I like shiny things, I guess.
Author and Professional Obsessive.
Hello! Over the past few years my creative work and professional life has shifted into areas that are little more private and analog than they used to be. But I'll still share what I've been up to, and this year (2026) will update this site accordingly. Please sign up for update emails if you want to catch up! (I'll also post an update to my Substack, but not sure if I'll have new content there.)
