The Other Night’s Dream

Some of my friends have described their experiences with women in such intimate detail that I have felt a burning down there...later in the evening on those days, I have spent hours alone in bed [...]

Checkmate

The doorbell rang. I opened it and saw him him shivering with a bottle of wine tucked underneath his arm. When I let him enter, he leaned forward to give me a quick hug which [...]

Recovery Retreat

So after a spiritually-crippling time (life isn’t always perfect, pity), I recharged my energy and fell in love with life again this week. Morning walks on a hiking trail allowed me to enjoy th...

Love Sees Very Well, Thank Yo

The valuable differences between men and women seem to be those that render us attracted to one another...indeed, men like "feminine" women and women like "masculine" men. Fundamental....

Yosemite

Curry Village (or "Camp Curry") was founded by people in the education world--notoriously underpaid as it those in that world are (I should know, having been there for too many years!), I wasn....
