I’ll vote today, but I’m not sure why. I no longer believe my one vote can make a difference. When I’m in my dark place, I’m not sure any of our votes make a difference. My daughter is 21. She’s gung ho, super excited about the election, and her vote. We raised her that way,…
Why are most of the heroes in romance lately either billionaires, small town guys, bad boy alphas or not human? What about the guy in the third cubicle on the left or the second chair violin player in the local symphony? Those guys can be sexy too. They have stories and deserve to kiss in the rain. The…
I’m having a really hard time with nonsense lately. I used to be better at it. I could listen to nonsense, talk nonsense and just move around pretending to give a crap, but now I find myself making faces. Sometimes I roll my eyes. The eyes always give it away.

Warning: This post is a rant. If you are not in the mood, or you’re super sensitive, or maybe even if you bring your dog into Starbucks. You should close out and come back later.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s CVS? CVS has decided it’s new business model is to move toward a “place of wellness.” I’m not sure that’s going to work, in fact, I’m pretty sure they will go bankrupt. It appears part of their plan is to remove cigarettes from all stores by October. The…
I have only been scared a handful of times in my life. Of those, I was only terrified once. I’ve stood up for my family or friends, but I’ve never moved a mountain, led a cause. I’m not sure one has presented itself to me. I’m certain I have never sought one out. I’ve never…
Restrooms are private, even in public. I was at Starbucks this morning and as I went to the bathroom, a woman was leaving. She held the door open and waited for me to enter. It was a full door hold. I was polite and said, “Thank you,” but it felt super strange. Why are you…
It is important to be descriptive. I work on my vocabulary. Not in a flash card sort of way, but I try to expand the way I express myself. This takes some effort because I want to stretch, but never go into territory that feels artificial. The words I use need to feel organic, so…
