Excerpt from Aids to the Study of Dante The Divine Commodia is singular among the great works with which it ranks, for its strong stamp of permnal character and history.

Nicole is without a doubt the oddest creature I’ve ever met. As far as therapists go, she’s pretty damn good, even though her methods are way the hell out there. And while she’s been using my climbing gym for her afterschool sessions for years now, lately, I’ve been having a tough time getting her out of my head.

So, when the maddeningly persuasive woman manages to somehow goad me into an admittedly entertaining challenge, o...
