I have a problem. Distraction. My distraction is tricky. It’s sneaky, deceptive and able to shape-shift into any form. It can be an obligation to a friend, a beautiful women or an old story that still hurts to remember. Sometimes my distraction shows up as a brilliant idea that runs off with my imagination. When …
