Fun fact: This is the fourth blog that I’ve started. The first lasted almost six years. At the end I had a little over 250 regular readers and it was about my move from San Diego to NYC after finishing grad school. It followed my trials and tribulations of trying to jump start a theater career, landing in a restaurant serving job that took up too much of my time, and eventually meeting and falling in love with my partner Adam.

I loved the process and ritual of writing, and was sad when I moved to Maine, started a new journey and found that I didn’t have the time or the interest anymore to write nightly.

Social media was a big part of why I stopped writing, because suddenly I found myself reading and posting on Facebook and no longer sitting down at my computer to write a blog post. Facebook was fast and furious Writing took time.

And this continued to be true until about three months ago when I started my most recent position at a restaurant in a tourist town and I began to document my experiences as a General Manager and all the stress and extremes that came with the job. These posts were on Facebook and were really traditional blog posts.

So here I am.

These are my stories.

Over the next few weeks I’ll repost my posts from the past few weeks as well as adding to my stories as regularly as I can.

Please enjoy and know that these are my experiences, my reality, and my opinions. There are LOTS of other people out there doing what I do better. I hope they find as much joy in it as I do.
