Sober Caregiver and Writer. Funny. Lucid. Heart-wrenching. 

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN READER : Monthly five-minutes videos telling authors what they're books are really about. Books I haven't read. Like Cliffnotes, if ClliffNotes were based solely on cover art, cover lines, and title. This isn't your mother's book club.

CONVERSATIONS WITH CAREGIVERS : Caregiver was never, ever what we wanted to be when we grew up. Monthly chats with writers who are also caregivers. Dementia. Death. Addiction. Grief. Adult Diapers. Housing and End of Life Options. Love and resentment can exist at the same time.

MIDDLE AGED LAZY: 50-something, single, funny. Booze & drugs shoulda killed me in my 20s. I forgot to grow up and now on the far side of 40, I find forty or fifty more years you hadn't planned for. I'm years past my use-by date. If I'd known life would last this long, I'd have taken better care of my parts.
