Xena's Doppelganger of the Heart. The Mirror is Bright and Shiny. December 31, 2011. It’s New Year’s Eve. Right now some people are drinking champagne, writing up resolutions, searching for someone to kiss when the ball goes down, and mumbling through the lyrics of “Auld Lang Syne”. I’ll be doing some of that, too (mainly the bubbly and the garbled singling), but right now I’d rather reflect on an amazing 2011. Sure, 2011, like any year, had its bad times, but who reminisces about the bad? Helped the ...

Xena's Doppelganger of the Heart. Letter to my Dan Dan. March 18, 2013. Dear Dan Dan,. You’ve been on my mind a lot lately, and the past 2 times I’ve been to Tucson I didn’t go visit you.
