If you were lucky enough to be born and raised on the praries of Saskatchewan, like I was, you either go outside and play hockey, or you stay indoors and play rock n roll.  I opted for the later.  If I had the skills, and the motivation, I'd be playing hockey.  Instead, I play a...

The number of times I've said this poem with my kids today: about 100.... the number of times we've laughed and laughed like it was the first time we've ever heard it or recited it?  100 ~And that's just TODAY~ MY MOM GAVE ME A PENNY. SHE SAID TO BUY A HENNY. BUT I DIDN’T...

I was just about to leave for work this morning when I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and saw my old friend Rob Ruiz on TV. Unfortunately it was not good news. Apparently two gangsters had shot a bunch of people in a house nearby to Rob's. According to the news the pair approached a...

So new policy here ... apparently if you are late to work or take time off they bring in a temp to fill your spot and make up the hours.  What? This morning I woke up with a migraine.  I took some meds, called and told them that I'd be a few hours late because the meds had to kicked...

This one's for you, Lester.  Rest in peace, brave soldier: In this world we face so many trials so many heartaches we must endure... In the early days of the war in Iraq, our soldiers really felt the overwhelming support of their community.  Supportive sentiments were at an...

This song came to me as I was paying my way through graduate school by working as a Music Therapist for the Fresno Unified School District.  I decided to record it last night as I reflected upon that period in my life.  As a songwriter, the developmentally delayed children that I...

I'm rushing around getting ready for work this morning, I take Igby outside to piddle and my roommate is sitting on the porch.  She says "Something's going down in our neighborhood!" She saw 3 unmarked cars pull up across the street from my house and a bunch of cops in bullet...

What a great day out, the weather is just right. These are the  days that make me love Bako. Ashley has had a great response to her article in the Northwest Voice. She has had several people write her and thank her for speaking out for them. They thought they where all alone, how sad is...

It happened this morning. I'm driving my kids to school, listening to a mix CD we always listen to when we're driving around together. It's definitely a MIX of music. It's got Linkin Park, Korn, Jack Johnson, Blink 182, 50 Cent, Eminem and the ROCKY theme song... yup. Eye of the...

If man is the measure of all things, then why have I spent my whole life trying to measure up to the demands of significant women in my life?  Humanism, also referred to as "third force" psychology, rose in popularity in the 1960s and has been having  a profound influence on...

I wasn’t expecting to teach a full session of my writing workshop today, I was thinking we would meet briefly on the telephone conference line  and I would move along to the other “stuff” on my sometimes relentless “to-do” list.   I shared a couple...

I do not have multiple single-serving tubs of Haagen-Daaz nestled comfortably in my freezer, awaiting lonely nights and Buffy reruns. Visitors to my condo located in Che Boonies(or butt-fucked Egypt if you will) are not greeted by the smell of cat piss and kitty litter boxes scattered about....

We've all met one.  Some of us continue to be haunted by memories of them.  They are the Halloween Queens of the world.  They look innocent and sweet, like a Halloween treat, but once you discover the way they rip out your heart with their wicked tricks, it's too late to salvage...
