It is still hard for me to call it a “blog.” I began writing “columns” in 2001 on a website I built and then would publish each one and send them out to an email list. It was “The Coffee Chronicles” back then. But here we are, with a blog. This is where I’ll be posting new podcast transcripts, columns, and articles about mental health. You are invited to follow along.

The Book: Let’s Unmask Depression
I was going to wait until after Christmas but then I realized that you may be struggling like I am. Aye, the depression is kicking the hell out of me. It will get worse tonight I am sure. But it may not. The book is the transcripts of episodes 1-22 of my podcast. Throughout the…
Episode 22: Paused
