The Sebring

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Julie-Ann Baumer

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a “dream sequence” blog post.  I haven’t remembered any of my dreams lately and maybe that’s better.  Or maybe it’s because the dream sequences are so silly and self-absorbed.  But then I … Continue reading →

I Don’t Drink

Posted on September 10, 2015 by Julie-Ann Baumer
