StreetLights On A Saturday Night: The House Of The Lord
From the unpublished notes… Before I had to hang it up for health reasons, I drove over 6200 Uber and Lyft trips. Best guess, at least 20,000 different people rode with me over the 4 years I drove. While I have shared some of those stories, there were many more people who made an impression…

Joy. Joy, joy, joy, joy… Slippery little devil. It has taken some time to write this one. Joy keeps getting away. Last year on the 6th of January, I sat down on the couch in front of the TV. Joy slipped under the couch and was gone for months. It showed up again later, playing…
