The Hive
You may know that I auditioned for and was selected to be in the first ever Albuquerque show of Listen to Your Mother. We had our final rehearsal last weekend and the show is this Sunday – in a real theater…on a real stage…in front of real people. This is a problem for me. Now, […]
Let Me Get This Off My Chest
I was reading the other day that Whoopi Goldberg hasn’t worn a bra for 40 years. 40 damn years! I get it – I really do! Bras are not comfortable! Some days it’s all I can do not to duck into the bathroom at work to rip off the restricting combination of elastic, wire, and […]
Oh, Shoot!
I’ve always had a fascination with guns. When I was a kid, my dad had a gun cabinet where his handgun and all of his rifles were on display. Some of them were ancient, given to him by his father (who probably got it from his father). Others were more recent, like his deer hunting rifle […]
More Helpful Tips for the Beginning Masseuse
Remember when I wrote a little primer for folks who sought to stroke and rub naked people for a living? Apparently my recent massage therapist didn’t even read that post. Of course, she doesn’t even know I have a blog – so that might explain the omission. I still had two visits left on the […]

You know what I’m talking about (see what I did there?) It’s a bit fascinating, yet excruciating to watch […]
Online Dating: Hulk and the Lawman
After my last online dating experience, I wasn’t in a hurry to set up another date. That was just as well, as the dating website I was using seemed to be recycling the same guys over and over – as if matching them with me for the fifth time would suddenly make me realize that […]
I’m Part of a Sisterhood!
Today I was getting caught up on reading some of my favorite blogs, and when I visited Cursitivity I was surprised to see that Maurna had nominated me for The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. I’ve always wanted to be part of a sisterhood and this one is SO much better than the Sisterhood […]
The Garden
Last year at this time, my garden looked pitiful. It had been neglected since the summer before and the drought had taken its toll. Many of my perennials had died and most of the mulch had blown away in the spring winds, leaving large patches of dry, dead earth behind. My daffodils and tulips struggled […]
