I was recounting my latest dating app debacle to a good friend yesterday. Although the story is not all that captivating, I will relay some of it here for the purpose of context. Before I get to that it seems entirely necessary to mention that the friend I was chatting with is going through a… Continue reading Proof of Life

We rewrite history. Humans, I mean. Sometimes this is a purposeful action on our part, an act of self-preservation or such. Sometimes this is something that occurs inadvertently and almost unknowingly for the same reason. For me this fact is simultaneously brilliant and terrifying. There is something magical about our minds that enables us to… Continue reading The Edit

I feel as if I’ve been brutally honest on this blog. I’ve spilled my guts and given any reader a real and true appraisal of my feelings, good and bad. There are certain topics or events in my life that I’ve shied away from. Not in violation of the spirit of authenticity I’ve wanted to… Continue reading Goodbye Burt.

I recently took my first manual transmission driving lesson. I was a bit scared but mostly excited. The first part of my lesson was the instructor walking me through the basics, including what common mistakes are made by folks newly acquiring this somewhat outdated skill.

What is embarrassing is that I posted out of order. Yup. That's right. I guess I am just blessed/plagued by an endless supply of thoughts that… Continue reading What in the actual f….?!

If you know me personally then you likely know I have a strange fascination with the Kennedy family. There are several reasons for this preoccupation, none of which are relevant for this post. I can tell you that I’ve read quite a few pieces of literature and seen quite a few films on the Kennedy… Continue reading Paying Tribute

A single girlfriend recently told me that she is tempted to give up on the whole dating business. She said she finds it infuriating, degrading, demeaning, and depressing. No, I am not making that up. She literally used those words. Having been “on the market” for some time now, I can tell you that I… Continue reading I think I can, I think I can…

So, Facebook reminded me of something the other day. You know, like an event. Your immediate reaction might be like “what the fuck is Facebook?” or “who uses Facebook anymore?” Or you might be like “oh I LUURRVE when Facebook reminds me of my fabulous life events!” Or maybe you start to sweat thinking about… Continue reading Thanks For The Memories.

“Why is it that it’s only after an argument when I think of the awesome things I should have said? – from “The Mixed-Up Files of Tilly Adam’s Journal” (Jill Shalvis. Lost and Found Sisters. William Morrow Paperbacks, June 20, 2017.). I warned you that I would likely quote this book again. I bet you… Continue reading Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda…
