One of the things I find most distressing about Michael Jackson’s death is the way in which people criticize and condemn the way other people grieve. I cried when Octavia Butler died. I’d never met her or even seen her in person, yet I cried. Sobbed, actually, and not even just once. This woman’s books [...]

My definition of “family” contains this rule: No matter how long you’re away from Family, when you go back, it feels like you never left.

I’ve been off in jolly old England laughing it up with Stephanie, Patrick, Mr. Darcy, and Maya the Wonder Dog. It was a fabulous trip in so many ways, and just what I needed. The distance from my normal reality helped me to see it a little more clearly. I’m still recovering from jet lag, [...]
