I’ve built this blog slowly, earnestly, and with my best intentions. My goals for my blog are few: 1) A vehicle to connect with others 2) A method to be of service to others (i.e., to make a difference for at least one person) To that end, I’m super happy about how these blog pages…

[photo credit afgooey74] LSD = D-lysergic acid diethylamide When I was asked to review The Harvard Psychedelic Club, authored by Don Lattin, the request couldn’t have come at a better time.

Guest Post by Jason Ulsrud: Hold On, How I’m Surviving
I discovered Jason and his blog, literally, about a week ago via a comment he left over at my good buddy Steven’s site (at Human Explosion). He had me at, “Hello.” Well, he has my readership, anyway.

My Writing Life: An Answered Question
As I stated not long ago, 2010 is my year of the BOOK. I will finish the BOOK and try my damndest to get the sucker published. I also mentioned that I want to bring you with me on my journey—today my message is towards that end. Please get comfortable, slip the metal tab into…
Front Porch: Cardboard Sleds, Machu Picchu, and Sami May
I host a weekend series here at Jane Be Nimble called Front Porch with a focus on people’s stories, spanning comedy to tragedy, to steep us in the human experience. Many of life’s best stories are told on front porches, in break rooms, and in back yards; that’s what Front Porch is all about. The…
