Rim of the World
12 Feb 2010, podcast
In 2003, I lived in a small California mountain town, where I had moved for love and clarity. I worked at a bowling alley while living there, with coworkers very different than the college students, hippies and hipsters of my hometown of Santa Cruz. One weekend, my girlfriend left to visit family in L.A. Stir-crazy and alone, I got drunk and stoned at the bowling alley, and then found myself lost in the woods.
I wrote this story for the 2nd Story reading series, and performed it at Webster’s Wine Bar last October.

Podcast #1: “Life on Mars”
16 May 2009, fiction, podcastThe inaugural podcast includes me reading my short story “Life on Mars”, a short piece involving a resigned man grappling with guilt on the surface of Mars while living among a sociopathic shipmate. It runs about 8 minutes and is probably not appropriate for work/children. Future podcasts will include more stories, fiction, and essays, and possibly interviews and discussions.
