Description

I tell what some would call lies. I have always had trouble distinguishing between what happened and what might have happened. And I remain unconvinced that this distinction, for my purposes, matters. This podcast is a weekly story from my life that I tell as accurately as I see fit. Topic include dating, LGBT and gay issues, life working for a non-profit, musical theater and other insipid topics.

According to Buzzfeed, my super power should be melting into a puddle. But that’s bullshit.
Some situations from your childhood are hard to understand because they are clouded with lousy memory and inflated emotional recollection. Other memories are easy to recall...like taking candy from a baby...or giving him drugs.
