A Book is Born…
Or at least, inseminated… Okay folks, this may be officially my laziest blog post yet. A writer-friend of mine as well as my beloved Tricia encouraged me to start writing a book. Yes, the wisdom of these fine people must surely be questioned because isn’t it bad enough I spew my salacious soliloquys online? Well,…

Tackling Trauma
Oh no… he used the “T” word! Yes, young Bucky, I did. And here is your trigger warning for what may follow… Since this fucking blog represents itself as various rants regarding thriving beyond trauma, and I’ve written 40 some-odd (mostly odd) posts about that, perhaps we’re due to discuss this trauma business.
