The Mixed Emotions Following the Eagles Super Bowl Victory
The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII (that's 52, for those of us who stopped using Roman numerals long ago). For a city that sports some of the most diehard fans (and we really do our best to diehard, for our teams), it's a dream almost six decades in the making. The Philadelphia football team hasn't won a championship since before the Super Bowl was a thing and, believe me, fans in this town know how to suffer, though we never do it in silence.

What the 'B' in 'LGBT Really Stands For
Here's the short version of my romantic history: I exclusively dated men until I was 20-years-old, when I fell in love one of my best female friends. She and I have now been together for nearly 11 years and are happily married.

I Didn't Like 'Stranger Things.'
I like to think I have good taste, and especially good sci-fi taste. So maybe I can't watch the tribble episode of the original Star Trek, but really...who can? I count to my credit having seen and enjoyed everything Star Wars has ever put out (including the holiday special and the really corny Ewok movie...though maybe I shouldn't tell you that if I want you to appreciate my taste level) and all of the modern Doctor Who episodes. And though I was bred to be a Star Wars fan, I have even dabbled my way into the Star Trek world and have been devouring Voyager on Netflix.
