Collected Possibilities ·

2025/09/19

This is the story of the day I was sent to The Ranch. Sometimes there are crystal clear moments, inflection points, where it’s obvious and undeniable that nothing will ever be the same. My eight months living in New Mexico, at the San Cristobal Ranch Academy - a program for ‘troubled teens’ - was my personal Crisis: there was a Jason before, and a Jason after, and they were not the same. The morning I was sent away is etched into my memory, and the experience has given me a unique perspective on how

This is a story about PDA in front of an unlikely audience.

This is a story of carbs and kindness. Over the course of the last five years, my weekly bagel run has become far more meaningful than I ever would have expected.

This is the story of a board game gone horribly wrong. Twice.
