The one subgenre I’ve yet to master is romantic comedy. Although some readers have reported on my sense of humor in books, even noting several laugh-out-loud moments, I believe that romantic comedies are the hardest to pull off. I can think of only a handful of sapphic authors who execute this subgenre with perfection. Recently,… Read More Funny Words
Lately, I’ve been shutting myself off from the depressing news cycle. I was happy to learn that my sisters across the pond in the UK have seen their world take a dramatic turn. Thank goodness for that. I’m hoping that will rub off on the US because even the news outlets that I’ve relied on,… Read More Funny Cat Videos
Only the USA would capitalize on a worldwide pandemic. The old supply and demand economic theory is alive and well. This last week my wife and I have been in a mini panic looking for a place to get a COVID test before we head to the Brandi Carlile, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Weekend.… Read More Capitalism is alive and well…
Well, it’s a new year, but the same old shit is happening in the world. After two brutal years, the US is still facing a major threat to our democracy and COVID is alive and well in a new form: Omicron.

After announcing the title of an article she was reading, I couldn’t agree more because I love talking about vaginas! Both of us… Read More Winter Vagina
How is it possible that we’ve traveled so far down this path again? It’s 2021 for shit’s sake. Yet, here we are again with radicals sticking their nose into anything that causes discomfort. Those poor white people who are offended by the truth (sarcasm in case you didn’t recognize it). And…this isn’t just happening in… Read More Book Bans…Again
While Halloween is not my favorite holiday, it is one that ranks high on my list. I mean, really, what’s not to like? Adults get to dress up and eat all the extra candy that isn’t handed out. Because…of course, our mothers always taught us not to waste food. Who could blame us for eating… Read More Trick or Treat

Sometimes it’s a bad break up in the past. Sometimes it is a deceased partner they simply cannot get over. Sometimes there is real… Read More The Rear View Window and the Windshield
With the Fall season right around the corner as September firmly plants its feet in the ground, we’ll all soon begin to see the debate around pumpkin spice heat up.
