Earlier this month, I reported on a situation where a volunteer with “Art All Night” was open carrying a handgun at the event. While Ledcat made her final rounds looking at the art, I went to sit down and listen to a mandolin player. I was puzzling over the probability that the two girls making […]
Write a post about any topic you want, but in the style of an author or a blogger you admire. What the heck is a blogging style? This is all I could come up with – a chalk drawing, but we have no chalk and Ledcat refused to lie down on North Avenue so I […]
So, tomorrow is Ledcat’s birthday – she’ll be 51! We are celebrating with massages, facials and cake (of course.) This is also another birthday – my sweet cousin Theresa shared a birthday with Ledcat. She would have been 49 tomorrow, but she unexpectedly died four years ago. My phone just sent me a birthday reminder […]
You know that old saying that there is no such thing as a stupid question? Well, there are definitely stupid questions.

Mental Health Month Blog Day to educate the public […]
What’s the one piece of advice you wish someone had given you a year (or five, or ten…) ago? I recently finished reading “Body Counts” by Sean Strub, a memoir that illuminates the cultural and political history of HIV in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. As soon as I finished this book, I began reading […]
This weekend, Ledcat and I were at loose ends when it came to evening plans. I mentioned craving barbecue and we simultaneously said “Let’s try Union Pig and Chicken.” I called to make a reservation and had no trouble landing a table for 2 at 6 PM even though it was nearly 2 PM that […]
In your imaginary award acceptance speech (yes, we know you have one), who’s the very last — and most important — person you thank? The absolute most boring part of any awards show or event is when someone spits out a laundry list of people to thank. It is one thing to thank your family […]
When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind, generous, or selfless for you? Tell us what happened! This weekend, a lot of strangers did me a big kindness by donating to Cathy’s Closet. One drive was Friday night at the Blue Moon Bar in Lawrenceville (yes, that Blue Moon of Sharon Needles […]
