Just Sent a Book and Letter to Jerry Lewis
Jerry Lewis is 90 years old. I just watched “the most difficult Hollywood Reporter interview” with him and decided I’d better do this now. He appeared to have been interrupted. He seemed preoccupied, annoyed and willfully unsympathetic. (The exact opposite of a DeForest Kelley.) So at first I was put off … because I took…
POTUS D.T. Strikes Again and Again and Again
With a nod of thanks to Medicine.net I’m going to redefine Delerium Tremens as follows: “Delirium tremens: A central nervous system symptom of sane voters which has been noted since the 2016 election. Symptoms include uncontrollable trembling, severe anxiety, sweating, and sudden feelings of terror. Abbreviated DTs.” U.S. President Delirium Tremens has made one…
Women’s March on Washington…and The WORLD
I was so encouraged by the enormous turnout for the Women’s March on Washington, and around the country, and around the world, in immediate reaction to the election of a sexist, misogynistic president. The reactionaries who are protesting it and saying it will bring more DT supporters on board are dead wrong—and they’re the…
Goodbye Obama Nation, Make Way for the Abomination
I apologize if the title of this blog offends some of you, but I’m hurting tonight. This is the last night the Obama family will inhabit the White House. Tomorrow night a nasty, sexist, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, pussy-grabbing reprobate will be living there, desecrating the People’s House with his actions and whatever policies his gerrymandered…
Sure Do Miss The Obama Days..
I’m missing the Obama family. They were measured, upbeat (despite the constant harassment and mean-spirited narratives and political actions that came their way from “opponents”) … and sane! Remember when we had sane Presidents? It seems so long ago now… Even when their opponents were acting insane, they acted sane!!! They didn’t take…
Surgery in February and More
I’ll finally be having my gallbladder taken out in February. Luckily, it hasn’t been bothering me but it needs to come out of there because porcelain gallbladders have a way of turning cancerous and spreading to other organs, and it’s located right next to my liver–definitely not a good organ to move to! The…
Kris and Kritters Preview: Fawn in the Canal and Gabriel Raccoon
Just a heads up: Both of these stories end sadly because of teenage boys with grownup toys…but they’re worth telling anyway. Fawn in the Canal Huge, racing irrigation canals crisscross the arid half of Washington State. These canals, at least twenty feet deep and sixty feet wide, direct billions of gallons of water…
Kris and Kritters: Into the Woods with Bears
Into the Woods with Bears (Sneak preview from upcoming blog series) While we lived in Cle Elum, Washington, our home and property pretty much butted up against a National Forest, so we were well aware of the wildlife that surrounded us. I was never particularly afraid of the furry neighbors who lived in the…
Womb Man Has a New Subtitle
Androgynous Kris by Greg Barton I’ve been toying with the subtitle of Womb Man to help it more adequately reflect what’s inside. It’s still pretty close to the original subtitle, but just different enough to give it what it needs to accomplish that. Womb Man is less than 10,000 words in length as…
Ideological Differences Aside…
No matter which side of the ideological divide you find yourself on (or even if you can place yourself right smack in the middle), I think we can all agree that the current economic and government systems aren’t working for us and haven’t been for a very long time…if they ever were. In the…
