#TBT Bruce and me shortly after we first met (2002). At Touché, a #leather bar on N. Clark in Chicago. A friend told Bruce, "If you break his heart, I'll break your legs.” Legs and hearts still intact after 22 years. #loveislove

You know, I’ve always been kind of proud of being #weird. Now that the word is being used to describe the right, I don’t feel so proud anymore. Weird can be delightful. #Wednesday

She speaks the truth. I hope America is listening.

#TBT The photo I used to lure my husband Bruce online in 2002. Taken by my son, Nicholas, at #Chicago’s Rosehill Cemetery, fall 2001. (Also the author photo for my novel, A FACE WITHOUT A HEART).

Should I replace my current #profilepic with this one?
