So many dates, so many attempts. Like being lost at sea.It felt so good to come in, dry off, get warm, date just one person over and over again, finally catching my breath on solid ground.Another false start. Break time over.Lurch back into the surf.
Just tossing this out and seeing if I get any response:My sister struggles as the single mother of a nine-year-old special needs child who is autistic and has chronic emotional tantrums (including injuring my sister) every day, often more than once a day. Judy has...
Last night was totally, totally great. Neal, Jean and I were tighter than ever, my singing felt great and the music was rhythmic, energetic, totally dance-able. The sound system was so good people could actually understand the words and later they told me they caught...
I've got to pull my focus off of my suck rat love life and concentrate on today: tonight is the big gig! I'm doing two new songs and a "new" one that's really an old one but I revised the lyrics (I do that a lot). The rehearsal with Neal (guitar) and Jean (percussion)...
So This Is Love porous membrane surrounds me fingers push sharp points, but it doesn't break trouble breathing, trouble moving panic starts like an old womb, my prison feels familiar yet hostile I want out my arms are extended, but it stretches with me trouble seeing...

Valentine's Day Sucks Dog Penis and So Does My Love LifeValentine's Day sucks dog penis and so does my love life.- rr2/12/05
I don't understand how birds/ducks can swim in freezing ice water, fly in freezing ice air and live in the freezing ice cold the way they do. Why don't they die of cold? How can they not be extinct? Does anyone know how birds survive the cold?
My feverish open mic activity continues as I get ready for my February 16th performance (details to the right of this page). My pitch is "After you have a sucky Valentine's Day, come to my gig and feel better - guaranteed." Stop by if you're around for any of these...
On her 38th birthday she registers at City Hall as Desperate, as required by law. This status requires her to accept any date offered by anyone, regardless of how beautiful she still is and regardless of how unattractive, ill-mannered or dull he is. Their crush...
The following is my response to a friend's email. Scott Dvorak sent me some very insightful comments about my last blog posting and I thank him for it. Scott, I'm honored that you have been reading my blog. Thanks. I think your analysis of my last post is very...
Yesterday I ran into a friend of mine at the gym who railed for a good twenty minutes about the state of our country, how bad George Bush is for us, the increasing limitations on our freedoms and rights, etc. Donna told me to read Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale...
Startling moment: I have a date tonight with a new guy who looks great online and sounds great on the phone, and...I don't want to. I'd rather go out with the guy who drove me home last night, the one who thinks there's no information to be gleaned from my lack of...
I invite you to come with me to some interesting places as I "open mic" my way into the consciousness of as many people as possible as I get ready for my February 16th performance (details to the right of this page). I was going to play somewhere else tonight, but now...
I heard that Thursday night was busy at the restaurant, so I had hopes that Friday night would be busy, too. Earning enough to live on is tough while we're in the January o-my-god-I-spent-way-too-much-on-Christmas business slump. But then the weather forecast turned...
