How to Be a Girl

We've moved.  To the suburbs.  We're getting to know the new neighbors, and we're wondering: Will they accept us here?

In this episode, my daughter and I get to talk with two of our heroes.  Jazz Jennings is a reality TV star, LGBTQ activist, and arguably the most famous transgender teen in the world.  Her mom Jeanette is as brave as they come.

Of course I knew this was going to happen eventually.  But that didn't make it any easier when it did.

How can the best of times also be the worst of times? This spring nearly washed me away... but not quite.

This tiny episode is mostly silly, and a little bit serious.  I also have some news.  Plus, cat videos.
