Thank You!!
There are days I really wonder why I keep this blog going. Many Sunday afternoons I stare at my laptop’s blinking cursor cursing myself for thinking this was a good idea. But then it happens. Out of nowhere someone mentions something I wrote. Often it’s someone who I never would have thought was vaguely interested in my random thoughts. So… Read more »
Independently Married
I was recently chatting with a someone who has reunited with a former partner and is in the process of moving in together with him.

Getting Involved
By the time you read this I likely will have already made a strongly worded statement to the local city council about comments they made during their budget workshop. This will be the second time I will have addressed the council during the public section of the meeting. While national politics are certainly important, many decisions that impact you each… Read more »
