  • Looking Out My Back Door: 100 degrees of solitude

    “So, Sondra, why aren’t you married?” Bonnie questions my back. There I am, lying unclothed on a bed, needles poking all over me, getting an acupuncture treatment for sciatica and related pains. How can I answer? Her question triggers feelings of discomfort, squirminess. But I don’t dare squirm with needles poking out all over. OK, yes, the squirming came from inside, not outside. Still. I’m asked this question a lot. Almost everyone I meet has asked me why I’m alone. Alon...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jun 23, 2016

    For those of you that don’t know me, I am a huge football (soccer) fan. But I’m a particularly huge fan of the United States Men’s National Team.

I live and die with the team -- each goal scored fills my heart with joy -- each one against rips that same heart right out of me. So, as you can imagine, it was difficult for me to watch the USMNT lose to Argentina Tuesday night in the semifinals of the Copa America. If you have no idea what that is or...
