When I first started reading Sandman, I fell instantly in love with it. This was back in the early 90’s, when it was still being written, and I waited breathlessly for each omnibus book of the individual comics. I wanted it in color! I wanted to read the whole arc at once, not scattered over…

War is not the answer. Just a few weeks ago, Iranian leaders massacred tens of thousands of their people for daring to protest against the regime. It was horrific and unnecessary, but Khamenei and his ministers led with an iron fist. Now that he’s dead, apparently there is dancing in the streets of Iran. War…

…’cause your lips are moving… Rump lies like he breathes. He lies about everything, from his golf score to how popular he is. I can’t understand how his followers don’t realize it. Maybe they do, and they just don’t care. He’s their god-emperor, and if he doesn’t have clothes, then that’s what they’ll do too.…

Actually, no, I’m not, because nobody reads my drivel. But I have to say, shout from the rooftops, scream into the void, that our current president, the orange shitgibbon, who self-styles himself as king, must die. And soon. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t actually want him to die. I’d rather he be tossed into…

A year ago today I lost my husband. That sounds so twee to me, ‘lost my husband,’ as if he were missing. My husband died. He was in a nursing home because he never really recovered after the second craniotomy to get rid of a pernicious glioblastoma. I thought he was making progress. I thought…

My daughter and I had what we jokingly referred to as a “Jewish Christmas” this year. Neither of us really wanted to do the standard quasi-Christian celebration, considering it was the first Christmas without my husband. So we went out to a movie (Wicked: For Good) and then to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner.…

This year for me has been particularly bad, and not just from a political standpoint (though that has been awful too). I lost three friends in the space of a year and my husband died on January 5. That, I think, constitutes calling 2025 a rotten year, and saying that next year can’t possibly be…

I came home the same day, Friday afternoon. My daughter, Rose, chauffeured me to and from the hospital, and she even waited there all day until they let me go. The procedure I underwent is called a laminectomy, where they shave a little bit of bone off that’s pushing on a herniated disc/nerve root. The…

Friday morning, the 14th, I go in for back surgery again. As I said in an earlier post, the good news is the neurosurgeon knew exactly what the problem was, and knew exactly how to fix it. So, barring anything unforeseen, I should be home the same day and in markedly less pain. Hopefully. I…

I know there’s not too much at stake this election, aside from local races. But those are just as important as the national ones. We need to send a message to the elites that we are mad as hell and not going to take it any more! If you need a sign, well then, Dick…
