FRIDAY STORYTIME: THE SEXUAL CONUNDRUM
My audio notes are a way for me to share my inner thoughts with you. I treasure that. Recently, I had the opportunity to hang out with an old friend. He’s a casual friend who once had benefits with me. I have always struggled to keep it platonic as he is a man of great persistence. I don’t find it offensive because ultimately, I understand. After dinner, we went back to his house. I knew he was going to ask again. We kissed.

They happened to be in close distance with a winery that created a vibrant memory in 2007 with a winemaker. It is the subtle notes in those events, those memories that drive us. Listen on…

IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON… OR IS IT?
The countdown has begun. Are you feeling the holidays? Typically it evokes a feeling of nostalgia. The spirit of youth, wonder, joy, and excitement. Are we in danger of forgetting? Let us not ever let cynicism get the best of us, at a time when people need cheer more than any other time of year. This is where nostalgia comes in. A remembrance of our youth, of simpler times. Let’s not forget what it feels like to be a kid. On that note, I have a story for you… I invite you to share a Christmas/Chanukah story with me, a favorite memory of youth or otherwise, that makes you feel…
