“… but I love you.”

Posted on November 20, 2022 by Matt Grigsby

Another mass shooting at an LGBTQ club in Colorado overnight. Multiple dead and injured, and here we are again. Thoughts and prayers and hand-wringing will be offered up, but no solutions, no changes, no progress. Again. Politicians who are responsible… Continue Reading →

Have We Met?

Posted on March 5, 2019 by Matt Grigsby

I have a confession to make:  I probably don’t know who you are. Not “you”, all the strangers I’ve never met, but “you”, all the people I already know and have met multiple times.  It’s not that I’m bad with… Continue Reading →

The Year That Was

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Matt Grigsby
