Two years ago I started a writing project called Open Heart, Insert Foot.
I interviewed about thirty people. I collected responses about writer's block and I wrote their introductions. I learned something from everyone. Each person provided a method for moving forward, openning up your heart, and pulling out your foot, so that the words could fall out onto the page or screen.
Can you believe it has been one year since we met for the magazine launch party that included my article and photo essay?
One year ago, I drove to Fresno County for the publication of an magazine article about an important support group.

Ten years ago, I married my wife.
When we were married, I did not blog. I did not use a digital camera either.
At the wedding, we may have used disposable film cameras. Ten years ago, there were these really cool disposable cameras with flash.
My wife's favorite flower is a tulip. We have two kids. We were married on 2/2/2 at 2pm. Some of the "numerology" was intentional, but not because we believe in magic. I liked the symbolism... maybe I liked the simplicity. Perhaps I thought marriage was simple, which it isn't.
Some days feel like Groundhog Day, replaying the same problem over and over, but a husband or a wife cannot solve problems magically, even if we expect them too. But some days are magical. When we replay those days, Groundhog Day is pretty good. Definitely something I would do again and again.
