This cartoon, printed in the New York Post by cartoonist Sean Delonas has stirred up a huge controversy, as most of you are already aware. According to many, it is a cartoon that is not just a denouncement of Obama’s stimulus plan, but it is also filled with racial undertones. In the cartoon, two police […]

A couple of years ago I stumbled on this video and it has stuck with me ever since. It’s so surreal. I shared it with the office and now, every once in a while, someone walks by and waggles their fingers at me while saying “PICKLE SURPRISE.” It’s very disturbing and yet addictive at the […]

Even cancer, apparently . . . . About six months ago I noticed a mole on Carey’s back that was flaky and red. It would heal, then get flaky again – and it changed colors occasionally. As I was in the beginning of my cancer treatment, I was immediately concerned. (when you have cancer you […]

I’m about 2 weeks from starting work again. That means my recovery is going very well. I don’t know if we got all the cancer yet, although I am very optimistic. I have a feeling of accomplishment – I have been through hell and back. Much of it has been put into my blog posts […]

If you remember in my previous post, Wedding Show Discrimination, I made lighthearted fun of Carey for excluding me from the bridal show she took her friend to. Well, she exacted her revenge this past weekend. She took me to a bridal show about 10 million times bigger and more chaotic than the other one […]

As I was checking out at the counter, the clerk said: “Can I have you telephone number sir?” I immediately answered, “No, you may not.” The clerk looked at me and said slowly, “ooohhhhkayyyy….” She obviously thought I was […]

A lot of you read my blog to know what’s happening with my cancer and my recovery. I have been posting more eclectic posts as I recover and I find my life isn’t 100% focused on my cancer. Still, I have a lot going on. I’m still not eating with my mouth. I need to […]

Rejections are a part of writing. Every would-be author who is serious about getting published has received more than one rejection. Some of the best writers of a our time have received not one, but hundreds of rejections. Madeline L’Engle’s book, A Wrinkle in Time, was turned down 29 times before she found a publisher. […]

I have been an avid, obsessive, compulsive (pick your adjective) reader of science fiction since I was a kid. I got asked by a friend the other day for a recommendation for a good sci-fi to read. As I was pondering his request, I realized that the sci-fi genre, in my opinion, has a serious […]
