erased

My Provincetown vacation is over and my mind is wiped clean.

I saw Kate Clinton perform Thursday night, and it was like watching one of those Japanese chefs slicing and dicing faster than the eye can see. I kinda wished I’d gone last night, so I could hear her take on McCain’s VP.

Essential Update

August 14th, 2008

Gahlord my web guy is about to unveil a makeover of this site. I’m trying to figure out a way to put up info about my new book, The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For. This isn’t it…this is just some basic info until I can get it together to do something proper, because people keep asking me about when the next book is coming out.
