- Bio
- I'm sure details will emerge as I write, but how does one encapsulate one's life in words? I consider myself a Michigan native, now misplaced in the southern MidWest. Friends and family have called me a story teller, which is possible. To anyone who reads my work, though, I offer this caution from Isabel Allende, as she describes herself: “If you ask me to tell you my life, I will try; but it will probably be a bag of lies, because I am inventing myself all the time. And at the same time, I am inventing fiction, and through this fiction, I am revealing myself.”

About a month ago, the Giant announced that he needed $10 to enter a 3-on-3 tournament with some of his friends from school. Naturally, my ears perked up with this unexpected news; at 15, the Giant had never once expressed any interest in organized sports, and had only taken up weight/… Read full post »

Dear Dakini Dancer (for that is how I know you),
I write to you, at your passing, because I believe that you, now free, are reading each of these memorials, and feeling all of our love. We are simply returning the favor, you know? The sorrow… Read full post »
And now for something completely different, in honor of the Pirate Wimmin's Revolution!
I'm not sure you can get absinthe in the US, although it's legal to possess. A favorite of artists and writers, "the green fairy" has inspired creativity in some, and fear in others. Per AbsintheO… Read full post »
Dear Giant,
I saw a video today of a gay couple, two men, singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to their daughter as they were trying to tuck her in. The headline in the article was "Best Advertisement for Gay Marriage: the Leffew Family." Of course, it made me think of… Read full post »
Equal pay for equal work? Although the issue transcends gender, race, religion, etc., in my state, it is merely un-PC to pay a woman less for the same work performed by a male counterpart - it is not illegal. This post was inspired by Jon Henner's Open Call regarding Equal Pay… Read full post »
If there is a deity, s/he has a sense of humor, irony, and poetry. My brain nearly exploded yesterday, first because of the Iowa decision on gay marriage (I find myself cautiously optimistic), then because my buttons got pushed (you can read my post about that, if you want to).

It’s not like I hadn’t had a few signs that I wasn’t one of the guys, hard as I tried to be. If we played house, I wanted to be the dad (or the bad kid that needed to be spanked, but that’s probably another story). I wanted grow up to/… Read full post »
