LOVE STORY WITH CLOSING DOORS AND WINDOWS

The love story in The Last Rave is a warning. But a warning for who? From a gender perspective it’s a warning for women who want more from their guy. Turns out some guys have bigger problems than women who want them to want more with them.

SERENDIPITOUS MAGIC MOMENTS

Who doesn’t look for serendipitous magic moments? I look for them in the house, on the block, in town, while traveling out. If you’re looking, they are there.
