Transgender Challenge
Inspiration for my musings comes from many sources and this month is no exception. I recently asked my darling Editor if she had any topical challenges for me. I assumed she would request commentary on the recent election, Festive marriage or Halloween, but I was surprised by her response—Transgender Day of Remembrance. Following the long pause on the telephone line, she asked if I had expired, which indeed snapped me back to focus, for I had no knowledge of the subject whatsoever.

Matters Bridal and Biblical
You have been much on my mind this week for I, Prudence Worthington, attended her first Festive wedding. The niece of an old family friend took her vows with her partner this past weekend and curiosity compelled me to attend. Many of you might be shocked by my acceptance of this invitation with all the rumors of flannel dress codes or pot luck receptions, but let’s face facts; at my age, new experiences are few and far between, so I jumped at the chance. ...Continue
Mommy, Why is Grandma Such a Bitch?
Summer has waned and the Worthington household repeated our annual migration back to New York City. Prior to departure, I proposed a day by the sea to frolic in the waves. It is that time of year when the water is finally a tolerable temperature and the fresh air and sunshine clear and bright. So off we ventured to bask on the sand. We shared the beach, that day, with numerous others, but the conversations of one family in close proximity caught my attention. ...Continue

Grumpy Guerillas
Dear Mrs. Worthington,
I recently went to one of the Guerilla Gay Bar “invasions” here in Baltimore at a bar called Mad River. I knew someday, one of these invasions would be met with some hatred and that is what I found on this night. Some of the staff was truly rude and uncooperative towards us. What gets me is that we were spending our money there. What is up with morons like this? Does hatred blind them from the results of sh*&%y behavior? If you want to read more about it check out GGBB page on Facebook.
Thanks,
Cheeky Monkey
Can You Take the “I” Out of Community?
Do forgive my recent hiatus, for life has been quite chaotic of late. As you know, the entire Worthington household decamps to the East Hampton compound for the summer season. While this is normally a peaceful transition, I found myself hosting numerous guests for the majority of the past month. ...Continue
