My folks died two years ago. Mom: on the 4th of July, and Dad: soon after, August 7th. The writing drive wanes since holding their hands in hospice. I ask, how to make a compass when there are no stars? Looking in the darkness, eyes open for a hint of light, sitting at the stern. #writerscommunity

I am incredibly excited about"Barbie." From the previews, it is clear Greta Gerwig has both the hyperbolic sense of how it feels to play Barbies and the deep snark it takes to follow B's loss of innocence as she enters the real world. I can't wait! #barbiemovies #barbiegirl.

My Brother, Partner, and I went to see "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" last night. Every aspect of the film was magic because the plot was true to the character, the humor spoke to young and old, and the story struck a chord in my humanity.
