I’m coloring my hair this morning, so I have 20 minutes of waiting time to share with you. So here we go! MEMORIAL SERVICE MISHAP I inadvertently gave my older sister a scare last night when I sent her a link to my updated memorial service Powerpoint and a copy of my obituary. She […]

Recently, my days have been filled with “busy as a beaver” writing assignments. That’s good, because for the past few weeks, there hasn’t been much owing to my client’s focus on other matters. But last week I got a stack of topics to write about, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I’m all
In addition to my podcast EVER NEW with Hannah McCrane, I have an additional podcast gig this weekend.

Recent Supreme Court decisions appear to be taking us back to original intent (OI), indeed: rich white male ownership of everyone else. Fuck Original Intent! We should be BETTER than this nation’s founders, not slaves to their bigotries and class privileges. I’m wearing black today. I’m NOT engaging in any celebration activities. America at

I’m sad to publicly report (finally) that Ben Taylor lost his years’ long battle against cancers (plural) on June 21st. Lisa and I knew it was coming, and we’ve been preparing for it emotionally and physically, moving his stuff out of his apartment at Lakewood Meadows, where he spent the last three months of
Overturning Roe v Wade is the mere tip of the iceberg.
