I have been swimming upstream for many years. Judging by some of the posts on Facebook, it appears I’ve been in good company, too. There have indeed been times when I have walked down that very dark road, using humor to cover my pain, bitching about the hand...

I have only recently learned that I have been a drama sponge for much of my life. Over the years I’ve attracted drama like fruit attracts flies. I used to think that life was supposed to be like this. In order to have a relationship, you had to have drama. It...

Being at Rusty Scuppers Pirate Daze this past weekend, I had the good fortune to watch kids have a really good go at tug-o-war. It certainly brought back lots of memories for me, and not always good ones. You see, I have never been good at tug-o-war. Oh, sure,...

Facebook is a wonderful thing. It’s fun to go back in time to see what you thought, read what you said, and occasionally realize that you were totally out of your mind, spewing a string of nonsensical or banal B.S. that should have completely ended all life as...
