I've not yet watched the final episode; but felt compelled to say something because it coincides with my reading Occult Feminism: The Secret History of … Continue reading Scenes From A Marriage
Before You Die
"You're getting old, you know. And you should have one more adventure before you die," she said. "And find a woman and fall in love." Before I die, I thought. I'm not even close.

My (not) Fine Spine
My spine is (not) fine; nor is my neck. Which is stiff. The top of my spine (vertebra 1c and 2c) and the bottom (vertebra 4l and the sacrum) is stiff and sore. From top to bottom I hurt.

Pluribus: “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”Smash or Pass?
Pluribus is a new series on Apple TV (I've watched it on Amazon Prime) with the premiss: "The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness."

Jack’s Eulogy
My brother Jack was sweet, gentle, and kind. He was two years older than me--born at the close of summer in 1947 at Bolling Air Field in the District of Columbia. Which is not to say he didn't get angry - he did. However, I think, that he thought it was a sin to show … Continue reading Jack’s Eulogy
