The Shortest Month
Because I'm middle-aged, I now must have mammograms. Why breast cancer would only strike once you hit 40 is beyond me. It's not something I've ever given any thought to. Heart disease and diabetes are […]

The Middle Ages: 48+
"I get together with a group of friend with whom I went to high school (over 30 years ago now!) every few months for what we call "Boys Night Out." It's an opportunity for us […]
Dreams Can Come True
Last week I had one of those classic teeth falling out dreams, which I never have. The weird part was that my molar and bottom left wisdom tooth (the only one I've had extracted) came out attached to a jawbone made of tightly packed potting soil. It seemed so real because I could even smell the fresh dirt.

2014
I got appropriately drunk on New Year's Eve, so much so that I took a genuine mirror selfie, no camera phone flip screen because those always turn out 50% more ugly. Why is that, by […]
Soft Serve
I don't think Stephen Malkmus looks like a lesbian but he couldn't go without comment considering that he is an aging indie due and his band has a new song called, "Cinnamon and Lesbians." I […]
This Many Boyfriends Club: The Stoner Auteur
Some time ago I was snarking on unpretty-to-me ladies. I meant to follow up on men. It's not as if they are any better. For a spell, I was concerned with indie dudes who have […]
