I am one happy crow. My mother is finally starting to understand me when I speak. Today is a great example – she noticed my drinking cup was a little bit low, and she threw the old water out, washed the cup, and put in nice fresh water. For all of her flaws, and there [...]

Summer is hard everywhere. My birthday is August 15th – when I try to find compassion, sympathy and understanding for my mother, what caused her to hate and abuse me, I figure she was not in the greatest spirits because she was in her last tri-mester in Summer, and flung me out in the dog [...]

Two days ago, maybe?
The only good thing about humidity is it makes your skin look absolutely fabulous. All of that moisture.

There was a rabbit. He was running around in Koreatown, Los Angeles, where I was teaching English as as Second Language.
It was July 9th, ten months after my father, Bill Mahan, died. July 9th happened to be Bill’s birthday.

About a year ago, I wrote that Judy Davis Farash was charging us for new carpet in her house, carpet that was so old it was disgusting. After we moved, she listed her house, 7002 Forbes Ave, Van Nuys, Ca, with Jill Fischer properties, lauding the wonderful hardwood floors! Pictures of the whole house – [...]

He was hopping around, when he saw this on my laptop.
It takes a mighty storm to scare Robert. I really have to stop with having certain politicians so easily accessible to my kids. Hide them in the porn closet, I guess.

But I have to yap in spite of it. Renee Tracy is my best friend, we have known each other for 24 years under very strange circumstances. When I married my first husband, Scott Grusin, she and her fiancee Scott Warner and their infant daughter Rio came to the wedding. I knew Scott Warner from [...]
