Bad Dates: A Cautionary Tale is officially available now!
A lot of you have been following along while I wrote this one, offering encouragement, laughing at the stories, and occasionally wondering about my judgment.
You guys have been incredibly supportive of my writing and my books, and I really do appreciate it.
Bad Dates is now available in paperback and ebook pretty much everywhere you buy books - mostly Amazon, but also Barnes Noble, Apple, Kobo and Google Play.
And if you would like a signed copy, you can buy directly from me on my website 👇

This is how you squander brand loyalty you've worked so hard for.
I've been paying nearly $30 for a bar of soap from Aveda for years and it was worth it because the bar was huge, it smelled lovely and lasted forever.
They have just reduced the size by at least a 3rd.
Meanwhile Clinique has kept the same packaging since I first started using their products in the late 70s.

I'm not afraid to say it, I'm embarrassed to be Minnesotan.
I'm embarrassed I still live here and didn't get out when the getting was good like so many of my friends.
It wasn't always like this, in fact 30 years ago it was an honor to be Minnesotan. And @Michele_Tafoya should lean into that rather than deny she said.
We've all said it.
We used to be known for being strong, resilient, salt of the earth people.
We used to be known for Prince, Mary Tyler Moore, The Mighty Ducks.
We used to be known for the Halloween Blizzard!!!
Now it's all fraud and Learing Centers.
We have every right to be embarrassed.
The good news is we can turn this around. We've done it before. The 60s and 70s were dark times in the Twin Cities and we cleaned them up.
For decades our city streets thrived. They were clean, and filled with successful businesses built by honest people who believed in the cities.
We can bring that Minnesota back if we vote for it. @LisaDemuthMN

It was bound to happen, though I am beyond disappointed, though not at all surprised because DFL.
St. Paul to Minneapolis:
"Hold my beer."
BREAKING: St. Paul police chief sues Mayor Kaohly Her, alleges sexual harassment and retaliation
The lawsuit alleges Her twice touched Chief Axel Henry's upper thigh, referred to herself as a "MILF," made sexually suggestive remarks and created altered photos depicting police officials shirtless with "prominent bulges" in their crotch areas.
"Chief Henry knew that if he altered a photograph to place a woman’s image, let alone the Mayor of St. Paul, to replace the face of a female bodybuilder wearing a bikini, he would be immediately terminated," the complaint states.

I don't think kids today can fully appreciate or even fathom the drama and controversy of adding Sammy Hagar to Van Halen.
I've tried to explain it to my kids, but I can't even begin to describe the calamity.

What happens when you publicly walk away from something that was once a huge part of your identity?
I sat down with Erica Hendricks, The Pissed Off Lawyer, for the second time to talk about detransition, what she says it cost her, and how much has changed since our first conversation.
This is a clip from our 80-minute conversation. Watch the full interview on YouTube. I'll put that link in the comments.

Encouraging everyone to fly their freak flag was a mistake.
We need to shove that stuff back in the closet where it belongs.
And besides it's a lot more fun when it's taboo.

Best tweet of the night, even though it happened a while ago.
I read a book about reincarnation. It said what we do in this life affects our next life…. Like if you make fun of a homeless person, you’ll be a homeless person in your next life.
I don’t know if it’s true but it’s the absolute reason I don’t make fun of liberals…. I don’t want to be that miserable.

For the love of Pete if I never hear Girls Just Want To Have Fun ever again I will be just fine with it.
HTF does it still get so much airplay? I've heard it three times today and I hear it every single day.
It was fun for about three months in 1983.
Did she make a deal with the devil? I just don't understand how anyone thinks any of us want to hear this song anymore.
What song have you heard enough of that you used to love?

I really think we can win if we all make sure we get out and vote in MN.
Staying home and not voting is a vote for the DFL.
There is no room for apathy this election.

I have a confession to make.
I turned the heat on this morning.
Just to see if it's working properly so that when it's really time to turn it on there are no surprises.
It works just fine.
I may as well let it reach the optimal temperature of 68°F while testing it out.
Right?

This video took 13 takes and I kept messing it up.
Usually I just wing it and speak from the heart, but I kept getting lost in this - going down roads that might have been entertaining but at 20 minutes way too long. So I tried using a script - and it's incredibly noticeable.
I prefer my winging it, but I wanted to get this one out for those who might need to hear it. I'm not sure I'll use a script again, but it did eliminate 6 minutes of 'ums', 'ahs' and long pauses. What do you think - script of wing it?
