I’ve always enjoyed reading Dear Abby. I don’t read the column consistently, but whenever something pops up in my news feed or somewhere else, I take the time to read it (my other guilty pleasure is reading the reddit, “Am I the asshole?” feed). And now I know why. Recently, an old column has been… Read More Dear Abby
It’s no big secret that I love oysters…fried, grilled, or raw…I’ll eat them any way they are served. When my wife and I go to our favorite seafood restaurant in Seattle every eight weeks (that’s how frequently I go to the big city to get my hair cut), we always order a dozen oysters on… Read More Fact or Fiction…Oysters are an aphrodisiac
Seems like 100 years ago, I was sitting in my Psych 101 course listening to the professor talk about the various giants in the field of study. My father was an avid follower of Sigmund Freud, and my sister and I vehemently disagreed with most of his thoughts on the human psyche for a good… Read More Intermittent Reinforcement
Setting aside the insensitivity of slang terminology such as batshit crazy, cray-cray, nuts, insane, bonkers, etc., for a person struggling with a mental illness, I wanted to explore where this particular slang originated. Although I’ll admit to using the term in my books in the past, ever since someone pointed out the error of my… Read More Batshit?
Some say there is a fine line between love and hate. Others insist the two are diametrically opposed. I often wonder about our capacity for such extremes. Yet I see evidence of this every day. I’m a huge fan of those heart-wrenching videos of cats and kittens who are on the verge of death and… Read More Love and Hate
I don’t feel sorry for Bud Light. Not one bit! Why? Because they thought they’d be successful by continuing to change lanes when all they did was crash and burn. When they first sent Dylan Mulvaney the can with her face on it celebrating her journey, if I was so inclined to drink beer, I… Read More Pick A Lane
Sapphic romance is really no different than traditional mainstream heterosexual romance. There’s one rule that rises to the top. You can’t kill off one of the main characters. This rule extends to their furry companions with a few exceptions. The reason for this rule is that it upsets the main romance formula that requires a… Read More Rules for Romance
“Woke” and “Own the Libs” are two recent sound bites that get thrown around by the far right and quite honestly, I can’t really understand their tactics. Let’s take the term “Woke” and break that down. Most individuals, especially those on the far right, don’t even know how to define woke as the right muddles… Read More Woke
I’m not really known as a writer who engineers their stories with lesbian couples who have kids. Most of my main characters remain childless with a few exceptions. There’s a good reason for this. People often write what they know, and I’ve never had children of the two-legged variety. All my kids come with fur… Read More Kids and Family
Most people know I periodically (okay…not so infrequently…try every day) scroll through my news feed to find articles to talk about in my blogs. Well…this one absolutely caught my attention, not only for the title but for where it came from! You can’t make this shit up…yes, Good Housekeeping, that previously wholesome magazine geared toward… Read More Sex Toys for Lesbians
