When you take public transportation to get to work, you tend to see the same people all the time. Maybe not every single day, because unlike most other transit systems, here in New York, during rush hour, the trains run every few minutes. So even if you leave your home at roughly the same time … Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

NY Writers Event at BGSQD Bookstore
So, last night was the New York Writer Dykes event at The Bureau of General Services – Queer Division at the LGBT Center in Greenwich Village. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who came. I hope you had a good time. I was really concerned that the bad weather was going to … Continue reading NY Writers Event at BGSQD Bookstore
Getting on Track
It’s been a few weeks since I last blogged. That’s because the holidays, as they do every year, kept me very busy. It all becomes a whirlwind of pressure and I sometimes wonder if I’ll make it to the new year with my sanity intact. I always do. Sort of. Then the holidays ebb away … Continue reading Getting on Track
Christmas Caroling
Has anyone else noticed that holiday music is the only music that we listen to continuously, year after year, for decades? I mean, radio stations still regularly play “Here Comes Santa Claus” by Gene Autry, “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” by Burl Ives, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee, and “Have Yourself a … Continue reading Christmas Caroling

There are 23 authors in this collection, each of which brings … Continue reading Just Released! A Truly Giving Christmas
A Turkey, Some Wine, and a Speech
Today at my office, we had our annual Thanksgiving luncheon. We had the whole shebang: turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, ham, mac and cheese, string beans, sweet potatoes, soup, salad, and rolls. Then we had apple pie, pumpkin-coconut cake, and a Dominican cake (because we also had 4 birthday people). My boss made a speech, … Continue reading A Turkey, Some Wine, and a Speech
It’s so awesome that this post is going live on Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. It’s so much more than just putting on costumes, going trick or treating, and getting candy. There is so much fascinating history behind the rituals and the holiday itself. And it all meant so much … Continue reading
Like Fine Wine
I just had a birthday. Like, yesterday. I won’t say how old I am, but let’s just say that I now have to check off a different age box on some demographic questionnaires. I find it so interesting how your perspective on life and attitude about the things and people around you change as you get … Continue reading Like Fine Wine
Into the Next
The members of my writer’s group are under the impression that I have a following. That’s very sweet of them to think that, but it’s really not all that big. Unless you’re one of the lucky few who are “overnight successes,” it takes years to build an audience. I put quote marks around that because … Continue reading Into the Next
