My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Cheapest Cities
As I reflect on my increasing poverty, I find myself drawn to web zones like the Yahoo! Real Estate section. http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/10-cheapest-cities-in-the-country.html Do my eyes deceive me? Are there no cities in SoCal on that list? Shocking. Shocking, I say. It’s not that there aren’t many things to do in Los Angeles that are free or
Foiled
I arrived a little early for a charity event on Saturday, so I took the opportunity to scope out the crowd. As luck would have it, a good looking gentleman of indeterminate age was sitting in front of me. He had two friends with him, who also looked delightful. I had two friends with me.
To The Mercedes C230
I get it. You’re driving down Sunset at sunset, and you are thinking, “I’m feeling mighty manly and invigorated by this beautiful evening—I wonder what I should do with all of this energy?” I’m sure, at a time when I wasn’t already dead inside, I also felt that way (well, probably not the manly part).
Good Vibrations?
On this fine Friday, I give you the following question. What is the strangest gift you’ve ever received—or the strangest way you’ve ever received a gift? Mine works both ways.

It’s Friday
It’s a Friday. You’re looking to clear out. Your eyes keep darting to the clock at the corner of your screen. You’re sighing because it isn’t 5pm (or 7pm). I understand. I was one of you. This is why I take it as my solemn duty to entertain you until the moment of your freedom
I Will Be Signing Autographs at the End
While text messaging with The Man has not been the best introduction back into dating that I can think of, it has given me an odd sort of confidence. Now you could point out that since SF has been embellishing the texts, that he’s the one who should have the dating confidence and not me.
Want
You shouldn’t have it. You shouldn’t even want to have it. You shouldn’t contemplate having it. Your mind shouldn’t vaguely flit across the idea of it. The concept should be forcibly removed from the pathways of your brain. So, naturally, it’s all you can think about. Sound familiar? It does to me, too. Lately, I’m
To Text or Not to Text
“Have been seduced by informality of messaging medium into flirting with office scoundrel, but will persevere with resolution to find nice, sensible man.” Bridget Jones. Right. Much like Bridget, I too have been seduced by informality of the messaging medium. Alas, I fret that I will indeed end up doing something colossally stupid with scoundrel
