When thinking of our personal growth, it is important to realize that no one ever really changes who they are. At best, we simply learn to mitigate our extremes and soften the rougher edges. If anything, as we age and learn more about ourselves, by concentrating on healing and living a life that is right … Continue reading Listening For Our Voice

Turd Tornado
This morning, in her truncated press scolding, Sarah Huckabee Sanders read the following statement: "I can assure the American people that, fake news to the contrary, there are no velociraptors roaming free within the halls of the White House or the Capitol. "I might add, that even if there were such dinosaurs roaming free and … Continue reading Turd Tornado
Paris
They called her, The Crimson Poonani. Me: Grande Poubelle. Together we saved Paris. Or, rather, the part of it that mattered. It's dead now anyway, killed by its own excesses. Much like our love.
On Work
Okay, kids! Let's talk about work. Many people have already told you that you can do anything you set your mind to so long as you work hard at it.

Puffy Reenactment
I like how historical military reenactors are completely obsessive about getting every detail of their kit right but then don't bother to lose weight. I'm sure there were a couple of portly Confederate soldiers in the American Civil War, but modern reenactments looks like they're put together by a balloon animal artist.

You know that feeling when someone you care about suddenly comes out with a really obnoxious, pseudo-political opinion that you know they picked up from some toxic talk radio host, or a co-worker they spend too much time with; and they just won't shut up about it because they want to have an argument; and … Continue reading Friendship
Recognition
One of my problems in life is that I have no sense or natural expectation that hard work and quality will in any way be rewarded or even appreciated. Rather, I expect just the opposite. I’m not sure why that is. The squeaky wheel may get the grease, but the protruding nail gets the hammer. … Continue reading Recognition
American Patricians
Sometimes I have to take a moment to sit back and marvel at just how committed American conservatives are to being awful. Their thorough attention to detail in this regard is incredible. They don't miss a beat! It's not just them selfishly doing everything they can to make the world a worse place, to despoil … Continue reading American Patricians
