So…I know I’ve written about the history of Valentine’s Day before, so I went on a duckduckgo search (my new way to search for obscure information due to Google’s recent asshattery) and found an article about 25 fun facts on this day of love. As a romance writer, I’ve got to throw away any cynical… Read More Happy Valentines Day!
Here’s the thing…I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t really know much about an Advent Calendar other than it happens around Christmas. Since my father was a committed Atheist married to a good Catholic girl, my mother’s influence on our upbringing related to spirituality was hidden and limited. As an adult, I chose to become confirmed, mostly because I had a crush on a Catholic girl and probably wanted to impress her. But that is a whole other story.… Read More Advent Calendar
In years past, I’ve written about the history of Pride month. I thought it was about time to write about Pride Flags since they’ve evolved so much over the years, and now there is not just one. In fact, when going to the HRC site, I found twenty-five different flags, representing almost everyone I could… Read More Pride Flags

I have a dirty little secret. No, it’s not that I have obsessive compulsive disorder (mild case…not like my mother) because that is well known. Although, my wife disagrees with the mild part. She thinks it’s a bit more pronounced! My obsessiveness has taken me to a place I never thought I would go. In… Read More Obsession…
The artic chill has a lot of people scratching their heads. For those who don’t understand the difference between weather and climate, you might hear rude comments like, “so much for global warming.” The reality is that Mother Nature’s two sons, Climate and Weather are working together to teach us a few lessons. And, her… Read More Mother Nature is Pissed…
Of all the holidays, there are two that I take a less than cynical approach to…Thanksgiving and Valentines Day. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my wife and I don’t even exchange gifts anymore for Christmas. We barely acknowledge our anniversary, sometimes forgetting until the end of the day. But, I guess as a romash… Read More Celebrating Valentines Day
Yup, I know…usually people do dry January after indulging on New Year’s Eve. But, you know me, I can’t do anything like a normal person. However, I do have my reasons. And…technically it isn’t really all of February that I will abstain from consuming any alcohol. Having just come back from Mexico and an all… Read More Dry February
Yeah, I know the next holiday coming up is Valentines Day, but you know me…gotta operate outside the rails. Besides, this blog isn’t about Easter.
