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.
A Prayer and Ponder
First, a short prayer— Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change Like the fact that Mulder and Scully will probably not be doing anything naked together in the X-Files sequel.the courage to change the things I can,Put “get work visa for Canada” on list of things to do so I can
The Magic Age Is…
44. That’s right – the magic age for the most depressed people experiencing a mid-life crisis is 44. At least that’s what I got from this article:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=510943&in_page_id=1770 Oh, good—something to look forward to, indeed. Apparently, it is at this age where people have to admit that all of their aspirations for love and life aren’t

I distinctly remember using my bed as a vault—I had this completely inspired flip all worked out (perhaps if I had kept those adventurous bed skills going, I would have had more
Suspect Crush
Another Saturday night has come and gone, and because I love the night life (I’ve got to boogie), I spent it trying to upgrade my desktop computer. Sure, some people have told me to just throw out my computer—toss it aside after years of faithful companionship to find a sleeker, faster, sexier model. But that

Thoughts on a Monday
The Lives of Others My friends definitely have more interesting lives than I do. I recognize that this fact in and of itself is not remarkable. You probably could have guessed this all by yourselves. But it wasn’t until this weekend that I realized exactly how much more interesting. For instance, on Saturday, I went
The Routine
Daring and adventurous are rarely words associated with me these days. Sure, once upon a time, you may have found me hitchhiking in the Soviet Union, but these days my view of adventure is checking to see if there is a new episode of “Moonlight” on TV, or looking for change in my pockets (come

It occurs to me that my love life has much in common with Cleveland sports teams. I’m always just one step away from victory before total annihilation. The Browns were just eliminated from the playoffs. They had good intentions, but when it came down to execution, they couldn’t make it happen for themselves. They had
