About Me

A Midwesterner by birth that has spent the last 20+ years in middle Tennessee, I am a liberal floating in a sea of southern conservatives.  Spouting daily “rants” and “raves” to have a voice in the world while (hopefully) bringing humor to readers is my mission.  Begun in March 2011, DiatribesAndOvations is an exercise in self-therapy designed to force me to think of something nice to say about someone or something every other day … a rants and raves opinion blog.  In this crazy world, that’s not always an easy task.

As part of my ongoing self-therapy, I hope you’ll comment on what you read and participate in polls and discussions.  Please sign up to get emails (daily or weekly), to follow me on Twitter and “Like” me on Facebook.  And, please, share my posts with folks that you think will find them interesting.  I can’t have too many cyber-therapists.

Welcome … your arrival is met with ovation.

    • Thank you so very much for nominating my blog for the Glitter E. Yaynus Award. To be considered for such an honor is quite an accomplishment and having a Glitter E. Yaynus is a goal that far too few individuals strive to achieve.
