Folks, I haven’t written one of these in a while. Years, maybe. I won’t tell you exactly how long because a man’s silence, like a fine sangria, should not be measured but felt. The truth is I stepped back. I figured the work was done. I’d said the things that needed saying, people had stopped […]
You’re a powerful woman. You have a great job, with great friends, and a lover who isn’t that demanding of your time. But, lately, something has been bothering you about your life: you’re not sure when is the right time to write that article about deciding to not have children. It’s something you know you […]
