I went to a local market recently added to the dullness of my life with pliers, scouring pads and coloring books for children, but left with an early midlife crisis.

Why do girls seldom become bald (naturally)!?

If I was bold enough to ask my grandmother how old she was, she would inform me that she was as old as her tongue and a little bit older than her teeth!
More recently a friend told me that you are “as old as the fella you feel” but it really isn’t that simple because it doesn’t take into account the perceptions that other have of your age.

Just You.

This is my initial entry into poetry. It’s based on my experiences trying to get healthy for a change.

From Dear World, a series of letters.

No marriage, no kids, and no house in the suburbs. So what does a guy with no ties have to get stressed about when he hits his 40s? Plenty.

This piece takes the author physically back to her childhood home in an effort to escape the stress and turmoil of adulthood. In this fantasy recreation of her childhood, she realizes that it wasn’t the physical surroundings that shaped her values and morals.
