As a kid, reading was my escape from an often chaotic home. Words could transport me to fantasy worlds where the only angry noises were the roars of dragons. I found a haven in stories, first in reading them & later in dreaming up worlds of my own. Books gave me hope. That saved me.

Got a gal named Daisy. She almost drives me crazy!

A funny and surprisingly touching film about the life of a paramedic / EMT!

It touches on a lot of problems in the American healthcare industry but in a hilarious and heartfelt way.

My bro was put in foster care cuz our mom was schizophrenic.

She thought her ex-husband was breaking into her house through the basement, shining lights through her air vents to keep her awake & adjusting her thermostat to toy with her.

My schizophrenic mom stalked a teenage girl because she thought the girl was sleeping with her husband.

Her 45 year old, bald-headed, butter-toothed, burger-flipping, drug-using husband.

Another tale from the parenting trenches... this is about the time my preschooler gave my toddler a reverse mohawk. I had to shave his head. He looked like an egg for weeks...

Here's the cutest story ever from when my youngest son Orin was a toddler. The Sunshine Story. 🌞

That's him in the background, snuggling the dog and waving his bum at you.

My schizophrenic mom tried to exorcise the autism out of my brother, and he ended up in foster care.

She thought he was possessed by an entity she called "The Force."

When I was 13, my schizophrenic mom started hallucinating doorbells and got committed.

She set up a video camera to catch the doorbell stalker, but when she showed the cops the footage, they laughed.

Let me tell you the whole story. It wasn't funny at the time, but I suppose it is a little now.
