Jeanette McCurdy stole my book idea. Not really. But kind of. I’m excited to buy her new book called “I’m Glad My Mom Died” because I have a sneaking suspicion that, although I’m not a childhood tv star, we’ll have things in common. It appears my mom was able to overcome COVID, even after the…

Time to Cut the Umbilical Cord
Wow. I’ve been out of the Broadway house for a month plus some – where did the time go? We’re also almost a full 3 weeks without any contact, which has been a mixed bag of emotions between loneliness, anger, relief, and hope. If anyone thought I was a rollercoaster before… 🙄 It’s getting easier…

How do you know…
When you’re ready to jump back into the potential dating scene? Not like “Let’s go get married” expectations, but someone to enjoy their company, have a plus one to events, and maybe even get naked on occasion? Is that a thing? No, I’m not talking a fuck-boy, I mean a grown-ass man who has his…

It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
It’s Thursday, December 30th. Two days left in this shit-show year. All signs point to 2020 and 2021 being the ramp up or trial run for whatever is coming in 2022, but I’m choosing to just try and focus on the here and now. Easier said than done, amiright? It doesn’t help that two separate…

Here Comes the Waaambulance.
TW/Suicide . . . My mother was officially released from Hospice on Monday, 11/8/21. On Tuesday, 11/9/21, she tried taking her own life by swallowing pills. To say this is all surreal is an understatement. I received a panicked call from A, my brother’s gf, about what to do – told her to call 911…
