I’m on Facebook, whining to my friend about a fight with my husband through their IM. In my typical “melodramatic,” (my husband claims, but I call “passionate”) fashion, I’m furiously typing how much of a jerk he is, how often we fight, basically questioning if the sanctity of marriage is sustainable. My friend is empathetic. … Continue reading The AI in Your Pocket or WHY TO BAN TIKTOK
I am NOT a Christian, and I do NOT believe a human being is an embryo. Yet, Alabama’s Stupid Court quoted RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURE, CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE to make their decision to place the RIGHTS OF A FETUS ABOVE THE RIGHTS OF THE MOTHER CARRYING THE EMBRYO. This is AGAINST OUR 1ST AMENEDMENT! How is it that … Continue reading Alabama, WTF Happened to Separation of Church and State?
Got feedback for my novella, A Marriage Fable, from a reader. Pam L (She/Her) 3:55 PM Thanks Jeri! I actually read it and enjoyed it. I just hesitate to review because the husband calls the therapist a muslim I think it was, in a nonflattering way, and never takes it back later in the book. It … Continue reading Is WOKE Brain-Dead
Took a family vacation to Yellowstone last summer. After a day of exploring the spectacular park, we ate dinner at Canyon Village, a sprawling commercial development amid the natural wonders.

My mother was a born-again Jew — her response to my brother’s conversion to Christianity, and my unwavering commitment to Atheism. In her continual effort to have me marry a Jewish man, towards the end of my vagabond years in the late 1980s, she suggested I go see Israel. She said it was the most … Continue reading A Day in Nahariya, Israel
My 21-year-old daughter decided to give me an assessment of my parenting of both her and her brother on her visit home from college at the end of summer break. Among my many crimes, I was cheap, though my college senior has never paid a bill in her life, not for her education since we … Continue reading On Raising a Modern Man
Friday night on the short ride home from his Boy Scout meeting, my 11 yr old son was quiet and sullen. I asked him what was up. Had anything happened at the meeting that he wanted to talk about? I saw him looking at me from my rearview mirror, gauging how to tell me disappointing … Continue reading Boy Scouts of Faith-Based America
It’s surprising how little I think of my daughter now that she’s living 2,000 miles away at school. We talk on the phone frequently, but since she’s not involved in my daily life anymore, she’s more of an abstraction (when we’re not directly talking), a pleasant thought when she crosses my mind.

“They’re coming back. Make no mistake about it. Doesn’t matter what you think you are, they are coming back for you. You are a Jew,” my mother often told me. I’m not. I’m an atheist. At 5, I told her so, thus creating a chasm between us that went unresolved, even with our last goodbye, … Continue reading Living with Hitler
