Dear Republicans, When is the time to talk gun legislation?

You don’t have to be a psychic to predict two things when it comes to gun violence and legislation. One, that there will most definitely be another mass shooting. (And at the rate things are going this year, it’ll happen sooner rather than later.) Two, the Republicans will say, “NowContinue Reading

Nashville School Shooting: Another AR-15 Marketing Success Story

Yesterday, shortly before noon, my phone rang, something it rarely does on a Monday morning. It was Wayne. “Did you hear about the Nashville school shooting?” he asked. “What? When?” “This morning somewhere.” I quickly started Googling, then froze when he said, “It was at the school Grant’s wife worksContinue Reading

Crap. My Alma Mater Made National News for a School Shooting

Early Wednesday afternoon Wayne sent a text that was both alarming and funny. “Your high school made the national news. Angels bunch of hid rats.” Which was then followed by four more texts: “Good” (twice in a row), “Hoodrata,” and then “Hoodrats.” Once I grasped what he was trying toContinue Reading

How I Became a Certified Genius

When it comes to trivia, I love playing it. Wayne and I both do. It’s our favorite onboard activity when we cruise. Together we hold our own, but would I say either of us is a certified genius? No. Although when it comes to the game of life (as inContinue Reading

Instead of taking guns away, why not put them to work instead?

One of the biggest concerns most gun rights advocates have is that they’re afraid of the government taking their guns away. This is clearly never going to come to pass in America. And just as clearly, mass shootings are going to continue. Which is insane. Because at the same time,Continue Reading

28 Months Later: An Operation No Social Media Update

Last year around this time, I gave a 16 months later update on my Operation No Social Media project. Over the past 12 months, I’ve once again struggled with my internal “to use social media or not to use social media, that is the question” conflict. The other day IContinue Reading

What happens when you immerse yourself in positive affirmations?

Positive affirmations did not use to come easy to me. Not that they do now either, but they do come easier after I’ve spent the better part of the last couple of years immersing myself in them. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a Virgo and I’m critical byContinue Reading

The Two Soul-Defining Revelations I Made About Myself in 2022

You’d think that at 52, I’d have a pretty good idea of who I am by now. Which, to a large extent, I do. However, there’s something satisfying about getting confirmation of things I suspected about myself all along. But a couple of revelations this year are ones I wishContinue Reading

Glee and Horror Curated: Haunted Holidays

Since I’m really bad about posting things as they happen, I’m combining two in one. In this case, it has something to do with Glee and the release of the new digital horror magazine, Horror Curated, and my connections with both. Glee Were you a Gleek? I’m not sure IContinue Reading

8 Biggest Social Media Mistakes (and Their Fixes)

I’ll begin with the full disclosure that social media expert I am not. Nor am I an influencer, even though I’ve done moderately okay with Haunt Jaunts’ social media over the years. At least by my standards. I’ve never amassed tens or hundreds of thousands of followers, so I’m probablyContinue Reading
