The Aging of the High School Reunion
March 10, 2012
Sometimes aging can make us feel like we are naked, smeared with bacon grease and deposited near a den of rabid grizzlies who have just completed a research project involving the effects of a prolonged vegan diet. While it might seem that there is no way out, know this: There is no way out. OK, […]
Fifty Shades of Bondage
March 6, 2012
Ask any woman what she wants in a partner and she will say “Trust. Caring. Communication.” But the success of Fifty Shades of Grey has shown otherwise. What we all want is to be ravished from behind, while wearing a blindfold and doggy collar. In Part One, I introduced the book, Fifty Shades of Grey. […]
Fifty Shades of Grey
March 3, 2012
Betty of Heifer 12X12, has alerted me to a book touted on the Today Show and across the planet, 50 Shades of Grey. I knew it had something to do with eroticism and SM, so I intended to do some deep research before writing this post. But, like the team on Fox News, I believe […]
Older Men, Younger Women: Fact or Unicorn?
February 28, 2012
Way back in time, before most people had ever heard of Harold Camping or Denny’s Maple Bacon Sundae, I wrote a post titled “The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women.” I didn’t intend it to be a tired diatribe of how men over a certain age want young babes. What surprised me was not […]

Now that the Academy Awards have ended, and I can surgically suction my eyeballs from the TV screen, you’d think my life would be exceptionally quiet, reverting back to the highlight of each week being trash/recycling night. Not so. A second event will be bringing Hollywood right into my family room, this time in the […]
The 15 Minute Dog
February 24, 2012
(The following is part of my Friday series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” Although nothing has changed, it’s the start of a slow weekend.) A lot of people, consisting entirely of my daughter and my […]
Middle Age vs The Middle Ages
February 22, 2012
Many people nowadays confuse being middle aged with being in the Middle Ages. They can be forgiven for a certain amount of confusion, since neither group of people had births recorded on iPhones and immediately posted on social media networks around the planet. Neither group grew up with Tickle Me Elmo and Teenage Mutant Ninja […]
Bye, Bye Babeu

Paul Raymond Babeu, newly resigned co-chair of Mitt Romney’s Arizona campaign, is the Sheriff of Pinal County in Arizona. First voted into office in 2008, Babeu became the first Republican Sheriff elected in the history of Pinal County. He has received national media attention for taking a hard line stance against illegal immigration, the unsecured US border with […]

Thrust into London for Deep and Penetrating Research

Three people have now expressed their desire to have me continue with my posts on the Fifty Shades of Grey books. In my literary universe, this constitutes a veritable groundswell, and I’m up to the challenge. The third installment in the series, in which Christian and Ana test the ease, efficiency, and calorie count of […]
