Women Named Olga
Before I started planning my wedding, I had never met a woman in real life named Olga. Just not an especially popular name in Texas, I suppose.

Working on a dream
Dreams and goals fascinate me. How they change. How they ebb and flow based on where you find the holes in your life. How hard you’ll work to fill them.
I’ve had lots of dreams. When I was little, I used to boldly assert to my mother that I wanted to be a doctor AND a dog-walker. In high school, I was certain the bright lights of Broadway (or at least an acting conservatory) were...
