The Red Door
The Red Door
My five-year-old daughter loves to draw and color. Last year, she drew a lovely picture with a blue sky, green grass, a tall tree, and… a random red door. She always cherishes her masterpieces and loves to make other people feel loved by giving her treasures away. She decided to give this special piece of artwork to her aunt whom she loves dearly. The interesting part about it though was that her aunt with whom she shared the picture, recently lost her husband, my brother, due to suicide. After a particularly hard day, she told me that the picture meant so much to her, especially the red door, which she interpreted as the “doorway to heaven”. That struck me and as I walked away I immediately googled: “what does a red door mean?” 01/11/2023 23:00

Band on the run
Band on the run
It doesn’t seem that long ago, but 1968 is over 50 years long and the sound and sight of The Triumphs still ring in my ear. Well, the ringing in my ear could’ve come from standing right next to huge speakers stacked on one another when The Triumphs took to the stage. I started entering early manhood and rock and roll with the band that would be forever in my mind. 01/04/2023 23:00
