Forth of July and I’m cleaning a swimming pool – not at a party or BBQ, but just me and Jose’s pool and the New Mexico sun.

The collection of Justice League Comics, double bagged and boxed in two long white cardboard cartons, rested next to him.   It was all he’d managed to salvage before Charles tossed [...]

Sorry I missed the other week folks, I was knocked on my butt by a nasty virus.  But I’m up, I’m moving…I’m shilling for votes.

Join me on January 17, as I get kinky with the hosts and other guests at Kink On Tap: the smart sexuality netcast for the kinkily inclined.  I have no idea what we’ll be talking about, other than it will be kinky and fun.
Tired of the pulp eroticization of sexuality? Annoyed by the self-aggrandizement of [...]

These recipes may not be the most healthy or the most sober.  Still, unless you have mean drunks in your family, these treats will get the kin in that mellow, maudlin mood to sing Christmas Carols and kiss each other.
Grandma’s Rum Balls
My Grandma used to make these every year…and my parents let me eat them [...]

Like JL I’m hard at work trying to finish the latest of the Taking The Odds books (Nicky & Brandon).  Installment number 3 is All or Nothing.  It seems like I’ve been working on it for ages.  Finally, though, I can see the home stretch.  There’s maybe three more chapters to go.  At close to [...]
