  • “How can you be tired?”

    Every long-term relationship I’ve had has been with someone who does some version of construction for a living.

  • Andy Johnson: A Boil on the Butt of Jacksonville’s Progressive Community

    One of the reasons I’m thrilled to be out of Jacksonville, Florida is that it’s an extremely conservative community. I often felt like a lone voice shouting in the wilderness when I lived there.

  • Thank a Roofer

    My boyfriend is a roofer, and a harder worker you will never find. I watch him go out there, day after day, in blistering heat and inclement weather, and slowly destroy his body. He has broken his fingers, put nails through various body parts, fallen off roofs, and is constantly cut, bruised, scraped and battered.…
