His partner of thirty years—who died unexpectedly in 1995—enthusiastically encouraged him to try to get his writing published (mostly poetry back then, plus some short stories), but he didn’t have the guts to do … Read more

by
Davis Pride

The Pregame I always try to reconfirm with everyone the week before the event. Just a quick message, text or email asking them to get back to me and let me know it’s still a go (and confirm that they have paid their share). The day before the event, I go through my checklist one last time, and make sure everything is accounted for. I also pack it … Read more
