I love Rocketman, the biopic-musical mashup that chronicles the early life and career of Elton John. I grew up with his music; it was all around in my childhood. I remember watching Elton on the Muppet Show. I liked his music; and there were certain songs of his that were favorites, but very little shook…Read more A new addition to my favorite movies…
The Catholic Hierarchy and the Lost Trans Sheep
I have been swamped with my job for the last several weeks. While I was out on a work trip, I received a text from my friend Sister Luisa, exhorting me to read my email and respond as quickly as I could. I was in the middle of things, and filed it away to do…Read more The Catholic Hierarchy and the Lost Trans Sheep

I read each of these books before recommending…Read more Diverse LGBTQ YA books

I was challenged by too many other things; mostly the medical issues that I had going on that have been my own private trial. Anyone who ever tries…Read more New Beginnings
Cast Away
I recently watched the move Cast Away. It was very popular when it came out, but I'd never gotten around to watching it all the way through. I'd seen snippets; enough to know who Wilson is. *********************** spoilers below *********************** One of my very first observations of this film was about me. I've learned so…Read more Cast Away
