Yesterday I wrote of the Facebook groups, and how people can be when they are protected by the almighty faceless keyboard. Then, a few hours later the world learned of the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others that were on the helicopter. The Twitter universe, Facebook and other social media powers were …

Brawling on the Internet
I am in a lot of groups on Facebook. I am not really even sure how I got added into some of them. A lot of them were started and nothing ever happens in them. Some thrive and have many members. And there is a lot of entertainment value in them if you sit back …
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is a lovely word, really. “A change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one by natural or supernatural means,” I mean truly, how wonderful is that? I remember as a kid learning the meaning of that as it pertained to caterpillars into butterflies. But we go …
An Update, I think
I wrote the other day about my experience with a woman who I helped get to a safe place when she needed it. There’s so much more to it. She came back in on Sunday. I was happy, at first, to see her. Then I realized her real issues. Not that her fear and situation …
You Just Never Know…
Being a bartender isn’t all that glamourous, or as rowdy as a movie like “Cocktail” would have you believe. I don’t recall a scene where Tom Cruise has to wash his glasses in the 3 sink glass washer. Or cutting endless limes for Cinco De Mayo. Or rolling silverware. It’s a job, one that has …

Right on, get after those goals! I don’t really make a resolution anymore. I used to, because everyone else does. But I usually …

Change Will Do You Good
The holiday season is a magical time, no doubt. And working in a restaurant in December for the most part is excellent. I have gotten some pretty excellent “holiday” tips, regular customers have been showering me with cards and candy and gifts. It has been fun. Until yesterday. There is always that one day the …
It’s All Under Control
I am not married. I am not even in a relationship at the moment. I do know lots of married and coupled up people. I see lots of really good relationships, and I see some that should have the plug pulled and quick. But as an outsider of those relationships, I mostly keep my mouth …
Jealousy and Other Cool Emotions
Holidays are a tough time for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. My friend Kelly, who lives in Australia, wrote a piece about how tough it is being a single mom this time of year. I just read a blog about a person who is dealing with mom’s dementia and how difficult …
