lgbtSr Now Mostly on Facebook
Folks, it’s been almost six years since I launched the lgbtSr website. I’ll be posting very lightly here for the foreseeable future, any new columns or contributor’s articles that come in. It’s a time management issue. But our Facebook page, with over 4,100 fans, remains alive and active.You can keep up with my personal life at MarkMcNease.com, and enjoy our weekly Twist Podcast, co-hosted with Rick Rose, at TheTwistPodcast.com.
Hang in there! It’s going to be a bumpy ride with the new administration coming in. All hands on deck!

One Thing or Another: Hope, Renewal and a Miracle Cat
It’s always One Thing or Another … a lighthearted look at aging, life, and the absurdities of it all.A funny thing happened on the way to despair: our oldest cat Jessica defied expectations and lived to meow another day. If you’ve ever had a pet diagnosed with a grave illness, you know the odds. You also know the futility of hope—they might get better with a daily pill, they’ll need some insanely expensive surgery you can’t afford, you’ll spend a few weeks or months believing they’ll recover, then you’ll cradle them in your arms in room #3 at the vet’s office waiting for a syringe of Permanent Sleepytime.

As an adult, I’ve had no interest in children’s books. I left them behind half a century ago. Or did I?
Chicken Little, for example, has been a powerful influence in my life. I was a nervous child—that hasn’t changed—and the Little Golden Book didn’t help. First my mother read it to me, then I read and re-read it on my own. I didn’t have many books then, which might help to explain why visitors never see walls in the home my sweetheart and I share. The walls are covered by bookcases.
