My nephew turns 30 today…THIRTY!! I thought today’s post would be the perfect time to write him a letter, and maybe roast him just a teensy bit by sharing some photos he’s going to kill me for…
Okay, to be clear, it wasn’t a sex swing. And I never really thought it was, but seeing it hanging there by the window of the gym on a day last week when Kurt and I were working out together did spark my imagination in a few exciting ways, one of which was a gym … More Drop Sets, Sex Swings, S&M Gyms and Surprise Packages
Today is the 3rd and final part of these posts about success, failure and the 21 Day Sugar Detox. I PROMISE that tomorrow and Friday will be SHORT and SWEET!! I’m also sharing some photos of a few little successes in my life to go with today’s post. Some of you recognize my posts for … More A Voldemort, by Any Other Name, Would Still Smell Like Fear?
“Smelled!” I meant “Have you ever smelled a birch tree?” Lick it? Who would do sucha thing…?
WordPress is challenging bloggers (good God, am I a blogger? When did that happen?) to post a Silhouette Photo this week.

I’m … More Post-Card Challenge, Part 2: From Me to Yinz

If you’ve been reading you already know my outdoor writing spots: the river; the lower Heritage Trail; the stairs to the state hospital; and the ledge overlooking the boulders of the abandoned … More Hatcher Hill Paw Paws, Sunrise Falls and the Graves of Anger and Hunger
I wanted to share with you some tiny excerpts from an essay I’m working on right now. I’ve learned that even just blogging an essay is considered published, so I will have to alter what and how I blog from now on.
