John Carey is just out of rehab and dying inside when he gets word that Tory, the guy who loved him and broke him, has removed himself from the world in the most bitter way possible—and left John to clean up his mess. Forced back to his hometown in Florida, John’s craving a hit with every… Read More

*  Skunk nailed us last night. I’m not sure if it was killed, or if it just wandered under our house to check it’s plumbing, or maybe it just decided to share the joy, much like Pepe le Pugh.  Honestly, don’t much care.  It smelled so bad I couldn’t sleep– and I spent the rest… Read More
