People, I have been inside the walls of the Sprawling Ramshackle Compound and it is awesome.
That’s right! Last night, Momma’s Boy an I attended a fancy (veg and carnivore!) barbeque at the home of Bubs, Miz Bubs, and their daughters, Dystopia the Zombie Pin-Up and Little Deadly Nightshade, and hung out with many other fine [...]
Just a sec of your time? Okay. Years ago tonight, I lost a family member to a drunk driver. Please be not only safe tonight, but also aware as you are out and about. I know those are always words to live by, but especially on drinking holidays, be mindful of what you’re doing and [...]
I got one helluva souvenir in Vegas.
Just this week, I mentioned the time I met Cyd Charisse, who died on the seventeenth. Years ago, I was a wardrobe slave at two different summer stock theaters, and Ms. Charisse came and did a show and was marvelous. There was a day we had a funny conversation when she needed help with an [...]
I’ve read for years now about the subject of gratitude and I usually, I’ll admit, roll my eyes.

Last night, there was a strange mix in the air of: awkward jokes, a fear I was turning into a stereotype, a momentary fear that I was speaking a different language than everyone else I know, I nice pep talk, a mouse running around all willy-nilly, a Bat Mitzvah in gold shoes, cinamon cake, a [...]

I had the funniest dream last night! If I write it all down super-fast I’ll remember everything, but if I wait, I’ll start forgetting it….
