Dear Diary, On December 21, 2025, there was a fatal shark attack just off Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, CA. Pacific Grove is the next town over from Todd and me and our West Coast life, and Lovers Point is where we go to sit quietly on a bench and stare peacefully at the sea. Todd still won’t stop talking about the shark attack, even when I ask him not to. To say he’s obsessed would be putting it mildly. True Confessions by Bill Mullen.

How can I play with focus and determination when I’ve got all this beauty to gaze at? Though I’m not writing while enjoying the Monterey Peninsula, the ambience of Steinbeck country is sure to stimulate my muse. #montereypeninsula #steinbeckcountry #pebblebeachgolf #golfinglife

#DearDiary, I get a little seasonal anxiety when summer rolls around. As the child of an army officer, many summers were spent moving. At some point after settling into every new house, I was gently encouraged by my parents to go outside and “make some friends.” This was always difficult, and often traumatic for a kid like me, if you know what I mean. There were some tours where I never even made one friend. When I turned 14 and we had moved to a base in Central America, I stopped trying and just stayed inside. I remember looking out the window at the neighborhood gang gleefully playing basketball on a court right behind our house and thinking, “Fuck this.” When Todd and I relocated to the central coast of California at the end of last summer, we were very fortunate to be immediately taken in by the hottest and coolest girl on the peninsula. All of a sudden, we miraculously had a groovy crowd of wonderful locals, happiness-inducing places to go, and a remarkable and unfamiliar sense of belonging. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOLEEN GREEN, THE WIENER QUEEN! WE 💚 YOU! BIG LOVE AND DEEP GRATITUDE, BILL AND TODD. #TrueConfessions by #BillMullen
