A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
Update on today’s hike - I got my ass kicked by my five year old. I was grinding down to a halt, and he was tripping up the hilly, rocky path like a billy goat, giggling all the way. 110 degrees? No problem. Me, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. [...]
Picture of my little guy with his Starbucks. He loves it, just like me. Calm down, it’s decaf and sugar-free.
From today’s Arizona Republic:
“Scottsdale fire crews were rescuing hikers from Camelback Mountain Tuesday.
One of the hikers climbed the face of the west side of the mountain to locate rescuers, while the other sat in [...]
Who’s excited for the October 17 opening of Flash of Genius, featuring the talents of Mr. Greg Kinnear? THIS GIRL! Check out the trailer and tell me you’re not beside yourself with anticipation. I love Greg Kinnear, he of the wounded soul. Go Greg Kinnear, you take those corporate giants down!
Sorry. Just saw Mamma Mia! [...]
I got paid for my voiceover ad today that I recorded a few weeks back. I hadn’t been sure if they’d use it or not but I guess they did. Pretty psyched to have that on my resume. I would love the chance to do more.

1) It is a senselessly cruel tragedy of life that I am not a member of ABBA.
2) If an asteroid is approaching Earth, a special, luxurious suite in the underground survival caves must be built to preserve the treasure that is Meryl Streep.
3) So Pierce Brosnan can’t sing. Who cares, we need to save him from [...]
I went to visit the judge I used to work for today. It was purely a social call. Not only did I work for this judge, but he traveled to Hawaii to marry me and Conrad. Every now and again I like to say hello. He was a good boss and a good friend, but it’s [...]
I just finished carrying a million pieces of my past out to the curb for the Boys and Girls Club to pick up tomorrow. Cleaning your closet is an emotional whirlwind as well as a physically challenging task. It always leaves me with a lump in my throat.
The ridiculous items from Frederick’s of Hollywood I [...]
