Do Not Be

This particular post came about as a response to a post from a blogger I follow. Basically he pointed out the dichotomy that when a male has needs and is open about them and goes after them he's often viewed positively as someone who is pursuing what matters to him, not compromising on what he …

Loss

I spoke in my last entry about having things going on that have been distracting me from writing as much. Stressful things. One of those stresses has been the declining health of one of our dogs. We were told last March that he was in early stage kidney failure after a kidney infection sent us …
