All the news that fits
My paid LJ account expired, but I don't think I'm going to notice much.
I actually wrote something. Ask the Doc: When a therapist breaks your trust.
Love ya! -
I'm OUT.
I'm giving notice to the world that I'm withdrawing from further competition n LJ Idol. I've phoned in my entries for the last few weeks, not literally although that would be cool, and I'm just taking the spot of someone who deserves to be there.

Once upon a time...
Being a well-traveled fellow in one’s 50s comes with a certain set of responsibilities.

Kickstarter deadline looms!
Hey, guys, if you're interested in pledging to my Kickstarter project, but have yet to do so, now's the time! There are only four days left, and we've got a way to go still.
If you haven't taken a look at the project, please do! I'm writing a book and expanding my website to help people find their way through the often-mystifying process of finding ( Read more... )
