All Black – The Small Print
“I like wearing all black. Wearing all black looks rich.” Said “Jill”, a student in one of the improv classes I was taking. Over the course of 8 weeks, other students in the class tried to interest Jill in other colors or patterns. I’d often hear: “You would so pretty…

I Remember…The Weirdest Night
I haven’t dated in a long time. But that’s for another post. Back in the day, I was a wild one. I tended to take what I wanted without regard for anyone’s feelings, including my own. This story is part of the reason I haven’t been dating. There are some…

US Navy – Baby Booties on the Loose – Bootcamp
I joined the Navy almost right out of high school. Even though I went to a college prep high school (I lived in the district), college was not even on my radar. I didn’t even consider it to be possible for me.. I’d been living with my grandparents after leaving…
I’ve Got the Power!
I glanced at the message from Tom and saw that it was time sensitive. I was giving an update to my boss Brad and since he was standing over my shoulder, I did the courtesy of letting Tom know that Brad was with me. “Oh BTW, Brad’s with me.” “Brad’s…
