Urban Pigeon: May 2013
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 20, 2013. I was working in production at The News Leader. So when I was given an opportunity to write for the employee newsletter, I thought that was my chance to gain some experience and acquire a mentor. The editor of the newsletter was a former News Leader. I lived with that chip for just as long, realizing too late that it was actually the best thing about me. Links to this post.

Urban Pigeon: Tube, the Short-Lived Cable Guide
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2014/12/tube-short-lived-cable-guide.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Tube, the Short-Lived Cable Guide. At the end of the year, I met with the Tube staff in Chesterfield County, a 21-mile commute from my condo in Highland Springs, and Byron said I could start full time there in mid-February. I drove home feeling an elation like never before. I put in my notice. His magic rope when he was done. I was so thrilled! I was going to evening meetings of the Henrico County cable TV committee, being a reporter with the other reporters. But then Byron...

Urban Pigeon: My Life in Cars
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-bought-my-second-and-probably-last.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. My Life in Cars. I was not quite as sad when I ran a red light in a dream state and was T-boned by a work van. After 13 years, you would think I would have mourned that car more, but I had buried three beloved cats in those years and knew real heartache should be saved for the living, not the inanimate. Although I often attribute feelings to inanimate objects (i.e., are my Christmas ornaments bored and unhappy, sitting in a box in the closet most of the year? Are you kidding me?

Urban Pigeon: November 2012
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 8, 2012. I read two interesting articles after the election. One said. The other article was about Karl Rove's SuperPac. And despite its millions of dollars in funding that underwrote attack ads in a dozen campaigns, its success rate was 1 percent. We try to make politics and the art of winning mysterious and complicated, but I think it's very simple. It's all emotional. In my lifetime, I can explain how every president got elected by emotion. Kennedy beat Nixon because he was young an...

Urban Pigeon: My Porn Store Story
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-porn-store-story.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. My Porn Store Story. The porn store on The Boulevard sits on a median strip, so it looks like it is practically in the middle of the road. My run-in with the store was literally a run-in. Sometime between 1994 and 1995, I was driving my 1983 Toyota Corolla south on The Boulevard, having just gotten off the I-95 exit. I had 2,000 copies of my newspaper, the Richmond Music Journal. His car was even older than my ’83 Toyota and was a sea of garbage. It was obvious he ...No one ...

Urban Pigeon: January 2014
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 3, 2014. The Porn Star Cat, the Java Temple Conspiracy and the Great Duck Massacre. The parlor game goes like this: your porn star name is the name of your first pet and the first street you lived on. My porn star name is Puff Woodhaven. There were some animals before Puff, like the cat who scratched my sister when she was little and was banished, and the Java Temple birds that were done in by a hurricane, but I didn’t personally connect with them. I never knew what happened to Puff. ...

Urban Pigeon: April 2013
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Why Men Break Your Heart. There’s no glossing over it. Being abandoned by a man is a hard thing, and it’s bad for months. You can get through it, though. Sometimes you look back and see the worst of it was just a bridge that got you to a good place you never imagined you could reach. At least, that’s been my experience. But it’s a gut-wrenching trip over that bridge. We haven't been happy in a long time, and you know it.". What are you getting out of this? That's why the right th...

Urban Pigeon: January 2013
http://urban-pigeon.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 20, 2013. When I decided to get married for the third time in 2001, according to statistics, it was not a popular option. More and more couples in America were opting just to live together. People advised me not to do it. Our tax refunds would take a beating. There was no real financial benefit to it. That there’s actually a penalty made me very reluctant. Isn’t this romantic? Is this how you plan a wedding? My boyfriend said his family would like to see him. Get married, even if I didn't...
