Our seniors deserve more

Let’s face the real reality. If our lives are blessed with longevity we will all experience what it’s like to be a senior citizen.

Making Assumptions

I am a gay man, but I am not a die-hard liberal. My friend is an Episcopal Priest, and he is not a die-hard conservative. When discussing politics, people often project their own biases onto us, assuming our viewpoints based on who they think we are, rather than listening to what we are saying. To

That moment you realize…and then say…

That moment you are making chocolate milk in the middle of the night and you realize that syrup you are using was your Mama’s and the last time it was opened was three years and five months ago. You check the expiration date and say “what the hell I’m using it anyway.” Oh and then like any gay man
