The Less Than Spectacular Times of Henry Milch by Marshall Thornton is set in Wyandot County in Michgan. There used to be a Wyandot County but it became Cheboygan County in 1853. It seems funny to hear the author refer to the area as the Northern Lower Michigan. It’s accurate. People always forget about theContinue reading “The Less than Spectacular Times of Henry Milch: #bookreview”
5 Podcasts: Transgender and LGBTQIA
Originally, this was going to be a list of marijuana-related podcasts. For now, the pot podcasts are going to be on the back burner. 😉 The subjects of what it means to be transgender and to be gay have been topics at my house lately. I can’t be the only one with inquisitive kids. WhoContinue reading “5 Podcasts: Transgender and LGBTQIA”

Confessions of the Fox: #bookreview
When I started reading Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg, my first thought was “Why are there so many footnotes? Soooo many footnotes.” I haven’t seen so many footnotes since my college literature classes. There were at least five footnotes that just said “Pussy.” It didn’t take long to realize that most ofContinue reading “Confessions of the Fox: #bookreview”

Shocking: NaBloPomo
What is something that shocked you when you were younger that isn’t so shocking now? When entertainers began to be open about their sexuality – gay, bisexual, etc.- I was always surprised. Now I’m surprised that I was surprised. The first one that I remember being open about homosexuality was Boy George. Back then IContinue reading “Shocking: NaBloPomo”
