Partying, presents…Our Lips are Sealed
The week kicked off with a much-needed change of scenery in Rhode Island: a couple of days with my friend Heather, whom I’ve known for years. The good news is we chilled out!

I’ve been to nearly all of the community theatres in the area, and never that one. Based on their level of professionalism, I will definitely be going back.
Who doesn’t love colorful felt tip markers? People who aren’t office supply geeks or under the age of twelve.
This week in writing: Back in December of 2013, I took at course in Magic Realism at The Eckleburg Workshops (I highly recommend Read the rest of this entry
Wine bottles, movie posters and hot tow truck drivers
My car, stuck across the driveway. AWESOME quality of life here in New England. Why live anywhere else?
I used to write a newsletter. I’ve now decided I can barely keep my blog going, so instead of trying to do both—and failing at both—I figure I’ll combine the two, and this way I can only fail at one.
I have decided that hell looks like a snowstorm. Read the rest of this entry
