We're Shaking Things Up
We’ve become a one stop shop.
I’ve spent years trying to integrate who I was with who I became, so why am I continuing to fracture my life keeping all the stories separate?
Hello, my name is Jodi. Only the Jodi.
I’ve been called a real stand up tomato.
Crone, warrior princess, mythical beast.
You’ve called my work funny. lucid. heart-wrenching ™
I write what I know:
Sex. Booze & Crime. Dad, Mom and Dementia.
Sobriety & Righteous Feminist Indignation.
I was drunk or on my way to getting drunk pretty much every day & night from age eleven, until I turned thirty three. Today, I’m sixty-something too goddamned close to 70, single, and childless; a sober writer who’s spent decades writing about sex, drugs, and drunkenness. And the occasional crime.
I’ve moved all subscriptions over to Only The Jodi where you’ll find:
The Long Goodbye - dementia and dementia caregiving
Dirtygirl Diaries - the sex, drugs and drunkness referred to earlier
Only the Jodi - the funny, the lucid, the heart-wrenching.
Resources for caregiving, addiction and recovery.
See you there.




Always good. Never too damn old.
That's awesome! Looking good, Jodi. Looking good. xo
