"Equal and Opposite Reactions is a rollicking good yarn about complex relationships and emotions in middle-class American culture. The author has created an incredibly funny romantic comedy, which transcends the ubiquitous romantic triangle and expands it into a quadrangle, complicated by the interweaving of relationships between the children of the principal characters.  Cleverly plotted, twists and turns, and exceptionally well written, this part drama and part slapstick comedy is a tour-de-force. Bravo Patti."
- R. Bruce Logan, "The Narrative Arc"

The Complete Idiot's Guide To The Polar Vortex

       A vortex is a mass of whirling fluid or air.
      It so happens that there is a mass of arctic air constantly whirling around the earth's North Pole called the polar vortex.
     The air around the North Pole is, as we all know, cold, very cold. In fact we in the Midwestern United States know just how cold that North Pole air is, because for the past couple of days the polar vortex has been dipping south and whirling around us:

    Now, the thing about the polar vortex is that, though it usually spins in a circular path around the top of the globe,

...this year's warming temperatures at the North Pole have caused the vortex to droop down,

​...sort of like warm icing melting down over the top of a cake pop,

​...except that the Earth is the cake pop and an extra-thick glob of icing has plopped onto Chicago.

     I feel like somebody needs to explain in these simple terms the concept of global warming in relation to the polar vortex to Donald Trump, who, for all his bragging about being a very stable genius,

...seems not to grasp the scientific fact that global warming is the cause of, not the cure for, the polar vortex slamming the beautiful Midwest,

​..which doesn't look so beautiful when you can hardly see it.
