Faith, fact and why MC is singing
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night, felt a knot in my stomach and recognized the worry: about family, deadlines, bills, clients who haven’t paid me for work I did last summer, and a retirement account that equals zilch. It was pitch black; I couldn’t see a thing, but still I […]

Yup — you read that right. Tomorrow night, Friday, December 11th, I’ll be on WEDU/PBS Channel 3 LIVE for a roundtable political discussion of burning hot Florida topics (um, yes, we’re talking about the Sailor on the Bayfront, natch) on Florida This Week.

A tigger, not a tiger
“Bouncing is what Tiggers do best.” (A.A. Milne) Ah, and Tiger Woods is bouncing right now. Bouncing in a slightly different way from when he bounced from his mistress(es?) bed to wife’s, but bouncing nevertheless. Bouncing is what tiggers do — that’s all they know how to do. Because a real tiger knows when he’s […]

“Few Florida politicians have grabbed national attention as quickly and dramatically as freshman U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson.” Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Sunday Nov. 1, 2009, p.1.

Late yesterday I received a list of names of those contributors who wanted […]
Healthy, not wealthy, and dumbfounded as a post
Just received my health insurance renewal forms for 2010. My health insurance plan is going up by over $30 a month. I already can’t afford it at $30 less. I’m a fairly healthy woman — no health problems, no medications. My biggest downfalls are too many martinis and not enough exercise (however, my fingers are […]

“Wow!” That was the headline from the email I received from All Faiths Food Bank earlier today letting me know that as of about noon today, MC Reality readers — here at this blog, at the Pelican Press, and at Creative Loafing — dug deep into their already economy-affected wallets and pockets and still found […]
Sarasota County — A+ in responsiveness
You know me — always (or at least usually) complaining in some form about errant Police Chiefs and odd goings on in connection with acquisition of parcels for big league baseball … yada yada yada. But I have to give credit where/when credit is due. And yesterday — it was due to Sarasota County. Below […]
