Men Sleep Around. Let's Get Over It.
A friend and I were talking today about David Letterman and men having sex with someone not their spouse and how upset and scandalous many seem to be about it. And how stupid this whole attitude is. We should get over it. Men sleep around. Men have always slept around. Yeah… Read full post »

Stephen Fowler - Shame on You
I just came across an article about the Stephen Fowler fallout from his performance on Wife Swap, a show I have never watched. And he should be ashamed of himself. He has done damage to himself, his family, San Francisco, liberals, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, Brits, ex-pats, men, and so many p

I keep hearing a lot about how the system is broken. How everything is broken – from politics to food to health care to energy to infrastructure to cars to well you name it. That we need to hit the reset button.
Last year when the levees collapsed and the… Read full post »
Where are the green jobs?
I have been looking for green jobs for two reasons – one is that I want one and one is that I’ve volunteered to be the green jobs expert for our volunteer panel, The Job Forum. I live in the Bay Area and if there were lots of green jobs it would… Read full post »
Don’t give me any money. Give us jobs building our future.
I am an independent contractor and my business never seems to get counted in the employment and unemployment figures because, well, I have no employees, and according to the government I am not employed either. I know many many contractors, freelancers, and consultants who are also suffering right no… Read full post »
We need someone at the top to help us guide all our competing interests regarding climate change, energy, our stewardship of mother earth, and someone who will look at our policies and our processes and identify those that do not have our citizens interests at heart and get rid of them.… Read full post »
My brother has joined OS and I'm freakin'
My brother has joined OS and I have mixed feelings. This is something new to me and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I sent him an email about a couple of my posts about our father and I thought he might read one and send… Read full post »
No New Year's Resolutions for me, but...
I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions anymore, but I have found a way to honor the new year. I make a list of my strengths, what I do well, the things about me that I think are deserving of more recognition.
I hated new year’s resolutions because they made me pay… Read full post »
My 25 things (well 27) about moi
Love these lists.. To find the others that I saw in the middle of the night, search for "25 things". Here's mine:
- I am voracious reader
- I wear mostly black and sometimes red
- I believe in mystery and energetic fields; I walk the labyrinths at Grace Cathedral
- When I wake … Read full post »
Proud history of self publishing
Inspired by Tom Cordle's post.... here are some lists of self published authors .... some may surprise you... like John Grisham and Anais Nin and Richard Nixon!
I'm part of the independent publishing community here in the Bay Area... I write a column every month for the BAIPA News (po… Read full post »
Something I can do on Christmas day
Yesterday I was accused by an OS blogger of being nice. heheheh. This makes me giggle. I am so not nice. My friends and family use euphemisms like “very sensitive,” and “creative,” and “intense” and often more direct words like “moody” and… Read full post »

Tracking my own comments in OS
I've been learning how to build relationships here on OS (couple months new here) and one way I have found difficult is to see if any of my comments had started or contributed to conversations.
I've looked at all the OS tips and blog annexes and could not find a way… Read full post »
Men who work with their hands
intoxicated by the night
I love writers, but...
I have a truly awful confession to make. I love writers and am suportive of them -- from founding a reading series in Corrales, New Mexico called Writers Alive! to being on the Litquake committee (planning and now production) [San Francisco], to being on the board of the local independent publishing… Read full post »
posting photos on OS
i just found out that OS has a default setting of 285 width for photos. I have been upset that my photos weren't being posted in the size I had saved them. So I went into the HTML and saw the size attribute -- on my post about brush painting (Making… Read full post »
Making a mark
The ink spreads unevenly from my drying brush. Like charcoal or chalk, but deeper, more permanent. Ink on paper. The far left side is very dark and the rest is not so. I have dipped only the tip of the brush into the pure ink and now I paint… Read full post »

This to me is sacred
This story feels so true to me and yet pieces of it aren't my personal story. I don't know what the rules are here for stories vs personal truth and what is memory but fiction and what is truth -- emotional or literal and oh well, here it is. And it… Read full post »
Making room
I’m weeding out my books. I need to make room… for something else. I’m removing things from my shelves. Books I have not opened in 10 years. Books I cannot remember the plots of. Books that don’t nourish me on a deep level. Books that someone else valued more than I… Read full post »
