#johnk. My buddy and I were kicking around the various malfunctions we suffer from/through with our kin. His Dad somehow picked up the “go away/come here” tactic of some women. It is a core belief of his that any relationship that feels like it is in “come here” mode willContinue Reading
It’s Easter Sunday. In many places us lay folk will have listened to another sermon on the resurrection of Christ. It’s a marker on our calendar foretelling the annual blossoming of spring. There is an itch I know I shouldn’t scratch that has arisen today along with the hemlines ofContinue Reading
In high school and into my twenties I got a lot of play out of being the wise, protective father figure for shameless hussies with soft boundaries and a burning resentment for the absent/s.o.b. father. As long as she’d get nekkid and dance the horizontal bop with me I wasContinue Reading
