My Mother’s Torrid Affair
It was the 1960’s and every respectable housewife had her eye on the pretty neighborhood divorcée. Scandalous. Not to be trusted. And with three kids, too! The father’s nowhere in sight. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wonder what she did to drive him away? And then every day at around noon a milk truck would arrive, park…

Owls and Letters
The owls are going absolutely nuts tonight. There must be ten of them out there, hooting their feathery butts off, and it’s been going on for hours. I felt the need to escort my little dogs on their evening backyard bathroom foray for fear they’d be spirited away. I mentioned this to a friend, who…

Feminism: Why does it Terrify You?
Without a doubt, my most polarizing blogs are the ones with even the slightest feminist theme, and that always astounds me. Honestly, if you look at the definition, what on earth could you possibly take issue with? fem·i·nism [fem-uh-niz-uhm] noun 1. The doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those…

Breasts. Do I have your Attention?
Guys, I’ve no doubt that your search engines directed you here and you had high hopes, but move along. There’s nothing to see. This is going to be a frank and unsexual discussion about living with the human mammary gland. Ladies, we all know that the day to day possession of breasts is not particularly…

There’s a Freakin’ HOLE in the Sun!
