I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

'christian' used to be a throwaway word. people didn't used to use it much. people didn't start self-labeling or getting labeled christian until the last part of the 20th century. before that, you might identify as a baptist, or a southern baptist or a methodist. but there wasn't one identifier that put you in a fold with all the other believers.

In a sense, in the area of child care, children's relationships with parents' working has come full circle. we have gone from the mom-and-pop store (or mom-and-pop farm), with its integration of child care and work, to children-at-home and dad-at-work; to the mom-plus-daddy working at home, with its integration of childcare and work again. from mom-and-pop back to mom-and-pop.

I write songs. then i record them. and later, maybe i perform them on stage. that's what i do. that's my job. simple. i don't feel comfortable doing interviews. my profession is music, and writing songs. i like to do it, but i hate to talk about it...music is spiritual. the music business is not. being famous was extremely disappointing for me. when i became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
