$50 for 50 by 50 #7: Esophageal Cancer Action Network
I'm turning 50 this year and instead of whining about it, I'm trying to do something positive by donating $50 to 50 different charities before I'm 50 years old. April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month so what better time than to do one of my donations to the...
$50 for 50 by 50 #6: The Los Angeles LGBT Center
I'm turning 50 this year and instead of whining about it, I'm trying to do something positive by donating $50 to 50 different charities before I'm 50 years old. I was going to take a few days before picking my next $50 for 50 by 50 but then providence stepped in via...

$50 for 50 by 50 #4: The Neon Museum
I'm turning 50 this year and instead of whining about it, I'm trying to do something positive by donating $50 to 50 different charities before I'm 50 years old. Arrgh! Only a couple of weeks into my project and I'm already behind. That's what a week in Las Vegas for...
$50 for 50 by 50 #3: The Innocence Project
I'm turning 50 this year and instead of whining about it, I'm trying to do something positive by donating $50 to 50 different charities before I'm 50 years old. I love binge-watching TV. Perhaps a little too much. Roughly 13 hours my life was lost last weekend when...
$50 for 50 by 50 #2: AIDS Project Los Angeles
I'm turning 50 this year and instead of whining about it, I'm trying to do something positive by donating $50 to 50 different charities before I'm 50 years old. Okay, in an attempt to be gracious about a dead woman, Hilary said some stupid, uninformed stuff about the...
$50 for 50 by 50 #1: The Trevor Project
I'm going to be 50 years old in a little under 6 months. The thought of that both hurts my head and makes me itch in unspecified ways. But it also makes me feel incredibly lucky. Considering all the crap that has gone wrong with me over the years, not the least of...
Mardi Gras Day 5: Fat Tuesday
Fat Tuesday arrived and I skipped the big parades (I had enough beads, thank you very much) and headed over to the Bourbon Pub to watch the Bourbon Street Awards. Hosted by bitchy drag queen Bianca Del Rio, the event puts a big stage on the street and judges give...
Mardi Gras Day 4: I’m Just Wild About Harry
So it's freaking cold today or at least my definition of cold. Something like 50 degrees with wind advisories because of the gusts up to 40 mph. I know those of you sitting in the bone-chill bullshit that is the north and east are calling me a wimp, but I still say...
Mardi Gras Day 3: Part 2 – BBQ & Boobs
I’m breaking the post about Day 3 into two parts because it would be too long otherwise and you might suffer from emotional whiplash. Part 1 is a ruminative look back at a dear friendship while part 2 is about BBQ and boobs. If you’re more interested in one or the...

The Year of Living With Cancer
In 2012, I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. To help myself cope with it, I wrote about it. A lot. And yes, the picture of Angela and Jordan will make sense at some point if you read enough.
The Year of Living Differently
After cancer, I decided to try to mix things up and do something different every single day for a year. Did I make it?
50 for 50 by 50
To celebrate, or perhaps to distract myself from, my impending 50th birthday in 2016, I embarked on a project to give $50 to 50 different charities by the time I turned 50.
