I Might Not Be the Alpha
Me: Dude, you CANNOT be on the couch. You are too big!
The Dog: Yes I can; I can prove it…
Me: No… Get… Gerrofff… Down! Gosh darn you are heavy!
The Dog: I propose a compromise.
Me: Fine. Whatever lets me focus this episode of Game of Thrones.

Welcome! I’m a middle-aged former Mormon (aka the “other FOMO”), essayist, and playwright living in Salt Lake City. I work in pharmaceuticals professionally and write recreationally—though I’m open to reversing that someday. On Life and Lemons is where I share humorous snippets about writing, addiction, recovery, relationships, mental health, and whatever else life tosses in the blender. If you enjoy dark humor with a twist of lemon-tart snark—or just need proof that your own life isn’t the only one held together by twist ties and good intentions—you’re in the right place. You can follow me and get updates on the release of my new essay collection at instagram.com/pieces_of_string/. 🍋 Subscribe and let’s overthink things together.
