The Minstrel Cycle: Texting with my Sisters
I was looking for some goofy socks for my nephew, who plays the trombone. I found these mislabeled ones on Amazon and had to take a screenshot to share with my sisters. I think the rest is self explanatory.
I didn’t end up buying them. Maybe I would have bought myself a pair if they had been as described. Then I saw this book, but by then it was after Christmas. Of course, it looks like one of a kind; not a “buy with one click” kind of deal. Maybe I’ll send my nephew the photo and ask him if he wants it for his birthday.

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.
