Many years ago, there was a Schultz cartoon, with Snoopy lying on his doghouse saying "I don't know about this 'one day at a time' business. Sometimes, half a day at a time is as much as I can think about." It came towards the end of the worst year my family could ever have, made us laugh and helped.
I just got to this site. This was the first story I listened to. Several thoughts went through my mind at once: Your voice sounds almost--almost--exactly as I imagined it. I love its rich timbre and the "accent" I hear. Your simple statement at once haunted me and made me sigh with relief. I also understand those moments, in my own way, for my own very different reasons. I will always sign, on a daily or hourly basis if need be, no matter how far into the spiral I go--that is the contract I have made with myself.

Yikes!
The great 42 bus of Fate has plans of its own. You never know when it'll trundle on down your street to knock you down.
Nicely done. Powerful
I don't know if I'm proud or terrified of this one, but writing and recording it helped the moment pass.

Nice original thinking.
