I was born into a family without religion, which is to say that my family originally had too much religion and my parents decided to end the fighting it caused by getting rid of it entirely. In my grandparents’ era, both sides had split into bitter feuds over religion and the family was left fractured [...]

Sometimes when things get rough, you just gotta cry uncle. I’m gonna be taking a vacation from my online life – maybe a day, maybe a week – to give me some time to get my head screwed on straight (gayly forward.) Be seeing you… (* I actually think fishing is barbaric, so it would [...]

I remember seeing Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time in the early 90s. I can’t remember if it was at a theater, or on video, but I do remember falling in love. I had had a crush on Mary Stuart Masterson for just about ever, and she was her strong, beautiful, somewhat sullen self [...]

The morning’s still quiet here. The cats are just waking up, and so the chorus of panic over when their next meal will come hasn’t started yet. The kids and my husband are asleep, and the sky is blue-grey with little yellow streaks of sun just peaking through. I’m still trying to get over bronchitis [...]

Just a few weeks remain of 2009, a year that’s brought me to my knees with pain, fear and ecstasy. I’m ready, eager to jump off into the unknown that will be 2010, eager to see where the maelstrom will drop me off, and eager to see how long the ride might last. A little [...]

A can stand for a lot of things. I have readers who believe it stands for adultery, and I’ll not argue the fact. Over 2 and a half years, I’ve run away from my life into the arms, and dungeons, of seven lovers who have offered me a place to hide…a way to distract myself…and, [...]

I recently closed a chapter in my romantic life and my feelings have been all over the board. Having more than one love in my life doesn’t insulate me from all the same feelings over a breakup that everyone else feels. When I get sad I tend to cope with humor, and so, one night [...]

Someone To Talk To

Some folks are built like onions, with layers of personality and feelings, while others act more like dictatorships, coldly navigating the treacherous waters of emotion like a mercenary out for treasure. As for me, well…I’m definitely a suburban PTA. I don’t have personalities – I have subcommittees. There’s the mom committee, and the teacher committee, [...]
Darkness

I love Autumn. I love the cool weather and the cold, musky rains that pull the dead leaves down out of the trees. I love Halloween and back-to-school and the way finally being comfortable and not too hot makes me feel strong and fierce again. But this darkness defeats me. I don’t miss the weather, [...]
