Lost & Found
April 9, 2014
I seriously don’t understand why people hate LaGuardia Airport so much. I had another amazing travel day with them. One of, gosh, a hundred or so over the last few years. Got there in 10 minutes, got through security and was sitting at my gate 5 minutes later. Along the way, I heard “good morning” … More Lost & Found
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
April 8, 2014
So good. So, so, so good. Neil Patrick Harris is perfection. I first learned about Hedwig when I was still a tourist traveling to the Big Apple with my Ohio theater friends. We’d pile in a van, drive to NYC to jam-pack four, sometimes five shows in three days before the drive home. On one … More Hedwig and the Angry Inch
My Fool’s Day
April 2, 2014
Turning 41 on a Tuesday can be pretty blah. If you looked at our day on paper, it probably was. We slept till 10:30 and in between the rush of showering, dog walking, coffee and breakfast, I gave Christian (the birthday boy) his gifts: 1) A doggy DNA kit for our mutt Griswold, 2) Tickets to … More My Fool’s Day

It’s a combination of my loves Neil Patrick Harris & Jason Segel singing “Confrontation” from Les Mis.

Solo Shows & Storytelling
March 20, 2014
The first time I saw the Oscar-winning movie Midnight Express was the summer I turned seven years old. The Academy Award-winning film was based on the memoir by a young American named Billy Hayes who was arrested in Turkey in 1970 during an attempt to smuggle hashish out of the country by taping it all over his … More Solo Shows & Storytelling
Make Life Happen
March 19, 2014
Don’t ya just love when the Universe sends a clear message? I’ve been pretty lazy about a few projects and haven’t been able (wanted?) to focus on them even though they get me excited simply talking about them. These horses have got legs, some of them are even saddled up, I’m just not hopping on … More Make Life Happen
