Bishops will be Boys.
Catholic kids were always the meanest. I grew up Catholic and not in the “we went to Church” way but in the “Catholic school going, participating in a Church life, having the Aunt who knew what Saint to pray to, Marian Missals all over the damn house” Catholic. My Aunt was an Ursuline Sister, my […]

On World Autism Day I took my adult autistic daughter to get a cystoscopy. The fun, it never ends. I’m not going to go into the myriad of probably stress related medical issues that led to the procedure but suffice to say she has averaged one medical appointment a week in the past year. The […]

I just watched British screenwriter and director J Blakeson’s I Care a Lot on Netflix about an unethical court appointed guardian. Not only am I in the process of writing a screenplay about guardianship, I’ve worked in the field and I am a guardian for my adult disabled daughter. I’m not an expert but I […]

After this week of rioting and (to be southern about it) unpleasantness, I have watched the smugness of my liberal friends waft from their social media posts with a combination of sadness and, although I hate to admit it, glee. Most of my QAnon friends have either fallen silent or been cranky. But because I […]

Well, well, well. So here we are, 2021. Almost every second of this past year included so many teachable moments. You could say it was a year where everyone was an exceptional parent. That’s the term used in the US to describe someone who ends up with a special needs child; the Exceptional Parent. These […]

Can we spend a minute and talk about how douchey the Emanuel Brothers are? Rahm, Ezekiel and Ari specifically who are as Old Testament nasty as their names. The reasons are long are varied and frankly not a lot of fun to get into. Today the focus is on Ezekiel who is an oncologist, bioethicist and […]

I wonder what the dystopian writers in Hollywood are writing about these days? I spent at least the first six weeks of the pandemic in a state of genuine gratitude that my mom was dead, she passed last August, and that I still had a job. I was also grateful that I had visited one […]

I’ve been stuck a lot lately listening to the moronic ramblings of both my hilljack friends and the not-nearly-as-moronic-but-still-annoying refined friends. Half of the folks I know have terminal degrees and the other half are just terminal, it’s usually COPD. I have footholds in both worlds. I’m not part of the intelligentsia, more like intelligentsia […]

I know 2020 is stupid so far. The past 4 months have felt like at least 4 years. I’m only glad that this virus showed up in 2020 and not in 2019. In 2019 my family moved my elderly mother from the home she had spent over 60 years in to one assisted living facility. […]
