Failure is a byproduct of bravery. Read that again. (Um, that last line was for me.) I had slightly more energy than usual, so decided to use it all (and then some) on creating a new program to help more men. Months of work and real money, spent in tiny unpredictable windows between crashes—that’s more […]
Never Speak Ill of The Dead to Me
“Dead to Me”? 🤨 I used to subscribe to the idea of “dead to me” if a relationship ended badly, but I’ve grown since then. It wasn’t until I was almost 37 years old I learned how to make a friend. As an adult, I didn’t really have friends until that time because I was […]
Why I Was Single (& Celibate) For 13 Exhausting, Character-Building Years
Why I Was Single For-Fricken-Everrr Okay, fine, you asked. (Let’s assume that’s true.) So, I’ll tell. 2012 My last “real” relationship wrapped up before the new year. Done. Finito. Cue the credits. Then came 2013 and I didn’t. Pun. The infamous Summer Fling Ish™. This fella was supposed to be The One. I mean, on […]

And Then I Got a Cat (Almost): Smittens, The Flea-Bitten Kitten
I Got A Cat? But Did I, Really? A few weeks ago Alright, fine, she’s not a kitten. And she’s not mine. She’s a neighbour’s 21-year-old calico cat with a stub tail and a sad look of disdain for life. But she does have fleas. I know this because I let her jerk and weave […]
Back-To-School Blues
Back-To-School Blues Even in my 50s, the back-to-school blues assault me. Every year around mid-August, when the crisp fall weather teases its first morning, anxiety sets in, stressed-tinged dreams ensue, and my chest feels tight and closed. This has happened every year for as long as I can remember. When I was school-aged, it was […]

Me: A Rewrite Update After 10 Years — I’ve Changed (But Not Dressed)
10 Years & Still Exposing Myself In Public (Me: A Rewrite Update) It’s actually been over 10 years since the events I wrote about in my memoir. I was just turning 40 at that time and as of this writing, I’m 52. Fifty-two! When did that happen? Where did all those years go? Why do […]
Almost Famous But Still Hoarding Food
Almost Famous? Nah. “You look familiar,” says my server, the same lady that cleans my room. I wasn’t “familiar” yesterday, so I know someone’s asked her to investigate my identity. The compact breakfast room with uncomfortably close tables has an expansive passthrough allowing a good view of the cheffing activities. There is one head chef […]
We Put Her In The Trunk Where She Was Safer
Dealing With The Dead The six-year anniversary of My Little Mom’s death was yesterday. My half-brother, half-sister, and I decide it’s the right time to finally take Our Little Mom’s ashes down Island to the cemetery to be buried in a plot I bought many moons ago when I was married to Good Man. But […]
