Maybe from my description you have already guessed that I am talking about skiing, or maybe you just think this is some sort of crazy torture thing that I’m in to. Both are kind of true I guess, at least when you break down the component parts. Let’s try that out and see what we…

I received an email the other day, actually I receive emails everyday but this one I found particularly interesting because it said it would help me live a more secure life knowing my identity was safe. Honestly I feel pretty safe in my current identity, not having any sense that I don’t know who I…
Sugar Bear – what can I say. It’s been over six months and he definitely knows us but I don’t think he has truly settled into believing, deeply believing that we are for real. Relationships are hard, especially when you don’t speak the same language and so there is no way for us to reassure…
Here’s the thing about perspective: it’s yours. From wherever you stand, literally or figuratively, what you see is exactly, entirely and only what you see. You might experience something in a way similar to another person, but only you are seeing whatever it is you are looking at in the way that you are seeing…
I like to write at least one essay a week, or blog post, call it what you will. But I have slowed lately and I am mixed with a sense of acceptance and guilt. I write for me and I hope that what I write resonates with someone else, but since no one is paying…

A terrible thing happened, we can all agree on that, and thus the conversation got started about what is okay to say, and what should perhaps not be said, and whether or not not saying something because it is likely…
The transition from one year t the next is always a good time to reflect since it is a natural (even if invented) break. It would probably make more sense to have the new year start on the solstice since that is a clear transition point, but then it is rather pagan and I guess…
What does it mean to be a man? Do you wake up on the morning of your eighteenth birthday, that year we have designated as being close enough, and all of a sudden you have been transformed? At 18 we as a society have decided you are mature enough to fight in a war (though…
Appearances are not always what they seem. Duh. The big dog, for instance, who looks like she should be tough, and who in fact has the UPS delivery driver convinced that she is a killer, is afraid of noise. Specifically metallic noise (like the pot lid hitting the kitchen floor) and farting noises, the kind…
The clue was “started the pot.” Five letters. In retrospect of course “anted” makes all the sense in the world. But I cook and the image that popped into my mind was of putting a pot on the stove and starting it. I could not figure out what the clue could possibly mean. Heated, heat,…
