Bio
I am a silly, fun-loving, bar-fighting writer that moved to Mexico when Bush got re-elected.....and I opened a restaurant. Life is very good here, and very difficult. So far I have stayed out of jail. So far... I'm currently working on a novel called, "Eyeballs, Crocodiles, and Whores" and I posted a chapter from it on Open Salon. ("Amercian Assholes Need Mexican Buttplugs, and I Need Tequila.") I read and comment and rate.....a LOT. I am blown away by the endlessly great writing on OS. Open Salon is the coolest place in the world. How lucky are we to have this grand forum?

Nose Hairs and Great Sex

 “So how was the sex?  Were you guys happy?”

“Yeah, well, we had us some great good fun there for a few years, and really paid attention to each other.”

 

“How do you mean?”

 

“Well, for example as it turned out, we each had some hair issues… Read full post »

Over the past few days, I've been fiendishly watching my CNN live feed from Japan, and it is now FOUR reactors that are melting.   As of 11:30 pm Mountain time on Monday, there have been three hydrogen explosions........only confirmed by the Japanese government officials because there… Read full post »

I live in San Blas, Nayarit......a 600 year-old colonial fishing village on the coast halfway between Puerta Vallarta and Mazatlan.  I've been here since Bush got re-elected, and it was al… Read full post »

The Sexiest Man Challenge? Leapin Larry!

Johnny Carson said that, "Comedians have the most beautiful girlfriends of any of my guests.......bar none!  Movie stars, rock stars, forget it.  It's the comedians that get the most gorgeous women."

I wholeheartedly agree!  I love love love men that make me laugh.....even though they… Read full post »

 Letters of LOVE & COMFORT to the Orphans of Haiti

Laurie asked us for help with this post yesterday and got only three responses for many hours, me, the Owl, and Bonnie. 

After seeing the embarassasing lack of response, I contacted the Owl and Bonnie---who had both kicked inRead full post »

Why are good, GREAT, writers, some of my very favorites, announcing that they are leaving Open Salon? 

WHAT? 

I get that this forum can become time-consuming---as it has been for me at times.  When I should be working on my novel, it’s easy enough to slip away and read really greRead full post »

I Need Insults! OPEN CALL

A fistfight broke out over the weekend in the comments section on my last post ("Dr. Amy's Guidelines for Making Money on Open Salon") and I was surprised.  This is a civil community we have here, polite and highly supportive of each other.  I've jumped into the pool now with a gr… Read full post »

I am somewhat of a newcomer to Open Salon, and have to admit that I made Dr. Amy a “favorite” pretty quickly.  She wrote well, seemed to have done her homework, cited seemingly credible research and studies, and was meticulous about responding to the folks that comment on her posts.&Read full post »

Budget minded gringos travel to San Blas in search of a more “authentic” Mexican beach town---and boy do they find it here.   We are authentic from the flies on the un-refrigerated meat in the market right down to the mosquitoes and biting sand fleas known as jejenes.  Read full post »

HELP! How Does Open Salon Work?

 

I think that all of us new to Open Salon---those of that have become true believers in this wonderful forum anyway---want to do things right when we post and comment on other’s postings.  This is a sometimes overwhelmingly rich environment, an exciting new world of great ideas and r/… Read full post »


You know how you always hear on the news and television cop shows, “the perps are believed to be headed for Mexico”?  Well that’s where I live.  All of my friends, hell, practically every gringo in town is a perp, including my 78-year old mother now.
