High school high: what happens when I see my old friends

High school high: what happens when I see my old friends
Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with high school friends. Whenever I have that pleasure, I always return home feeling a glow that is different from typical happiness. It’s strangely euphoric. It’s just f’ing awesome. Despite high school growing farther and farther away from me (okay, 38 years away) being with those... Read more »

Mean girls: why, why, why why, why
Don’t get it. Don’t like it. Don’t like them. And realistically speaking, who does? Looking back over my life I can remember all too many mean girls that reveled in other girl’s miseries. The girls that loved to try making others feel inferior  and in doing so, made themselves feel good. But that was when... Read more »

Married 26 years today: how did that go so fast?

Married 26 years today: how did that go so fast?
On April 5, 1987 I married a man I really didn’t know very well. Well, I knew him but we’d only been together for six months and if you think that means you know someone —DING, DING, DING. Not possible. Today is April 5, 2013 and yes, now I know him. And my life is... Read more »
