Throwbacks

Polyamory. Gay marriage. Second life. Pink lipstick. That time I got a degree from the nation’s first pot school! When I wrote a Modern Love about my failed engagement. A creepy story about men who fall in love with dolls. An even creepier (and horrific) series about the pedophile Jerry Sandusky. A column on internet language! When I camped out with some “preppers.” That time I went to Florida to “find” Casey Anthony, which I failed to do. All of these and more stories coming as soon as I find the time to update this web page.
