Took a day off to play tourist in my city. I rediscovered Chicago's underground pedway, which was great considering the cold. Found a puppet art exhibit at the Cultural Center and shared the history of Frango mints with a young stem cell currier from Germany. #Chicago

Memoir Excerpt Published!
I'm thrilled that one of my stories is published in Dorothy Parker's Ashes. Themed "cops" you'll find a shortened excerpt from my unpublished memoir, Not Just Another Gay Dad Story. It's a 5-minute read, or listen. Enjoy Snow Show
