You could never be Member. You ARE the Club...and I want to join.
I enjoyed this post soooo much. It speaks volumes of who you are and the man you have become. It's nice to see how versatile you are--makes for a very interesting life and outlook.
And by the way...the lobster risotto looks amazing!! Make risotto next time you are with me. That is something I don't cook--potatoes seem to be my go-to.
Ok in addition to the fact that that lobster risotto looks KILLER:
I loved the poem. It was inspiring, and it underscored this whole piece and the ideas in your comment beautifully. Afraid and naked, writing, revising, never settling - this captures the essence of sitting down with the proverbial pen and paper perfectly. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it?
You've also tapped into something that feels profoundly true: becoming aware of, embracing, and integrating our multitudes is an act of refusing to settle. This never occurred to me, and it resonates.
Awesome work man. Excited to read more of your poetry.
On a side note, where did you learn to cook like this?
Thanks, Alex! Glad that the ideas resonated (and that you enjoyed the poem)! We’ll just keep striving, never letting ourselves settle, and see what happens, right?
As far as cooking goes, I mostly learned through trial and error -- and watching a lot of Chopped! Like writing, the more you cook, the better you get (theoretically). I think I wrote about I started cooking in an early post, but I can’t for the life of me find it. Might be time to dust that topic off again!

I love you, always and forever.
Consider risotto on the menu!

Oh, and I’d be remiss not to count my mom as an inspiration -- even if she never let me in the kitchen growing up!
Would love to see ya dust off that topic 👍
Check back next week ;)
Yes!!!!
