Fairness Friday: Says Who?

When I was growing up, hurricanes used to be given female names. At some point, a decision was made that this was sexist, and that women were (or at least should have been) offended. Now we also give them male names, and I believe we alternate between male and female to make sure we’re being … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about How Alright I Am

Flaky Friday: Are We All Insane?

Can a writer or anyone else identify when they’re crazy? I know I’m not the best judge for myself, although I try to err on the side of YES, I AM (it’s probably NOT much of an error.) The fact is, we go through phases of our life all the time when we’re crazy, we … Continue reading →
