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]
That’s Max at Mamma Mia! today. I’m going to be so sad when that’s not in the theaters anymore. Max loves going to see it so much, it’ll be sad when he’s next going to a movie and all excited and then it’s not Mamma Mia!
Poor kid’s got my genes. Apparently he was quite enamored [...]
Day one of our three day weekend, we took a day trip with Max and ended the day with me going to my ceremonial once-a-year ASU football game with Conrad and our friend Crowbar. I LOATHE football, but once a year I go to a game and die of boredom the entire time. [...]
The title is a quote from Weill’s Mahagonny. We became intimately familiar with it when Max was obsessed with it.
I’m up early because I just couldn’t sleep. This is a weird time and I’m stressed a lot. It’s good stress - it’s good that I have a job, good that I’m making [...]
Tonight is classic monsoon weather, which we’ve had surprisingly little of this summer. The violent storms, wind, lightning, rain, that take over with a vengeance, then disappear as suddenly as they arrived, are a trademark of the Arizona summer. We’re in the midst of one now. Max, usually so anxious to go [...]
It arrived today - my preordered cast recording of Gypsy! And as usual, what can one say of the talents of the great Patti LuPone but OH HELL YES - that’s how it needs to be done!
Well, obviously I’m a bit biased, but every time I hear a new effort of Ms. LuPone’s, I [...]

Starting this J-O-B is kind of killing my heretofore famous capacity to brood. I’m too occupied, and when I’m not too occupied, I’m too tired.
Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll get it back.
The other night we went to Black Bart’s Steakhouse [...]
Watching the coverage about Obama’s choice of running mate last night, I started kicking myself about my husband’s internship with John McCain.
See, he had one, when we were in law school. But we’d just started dating, and he’d pursued me very energetically, and I had finally decided that okay, we could date [...]
After a week in my new job, the vast majority of what I have learned is just how much there is to be confused about! But, I’m trying to keep that positive mental attitude. Just because I don’t know HOW to do things - yet - doesn’t mean I’m not a CAN-DO girl! [...]
So tomorrow, the lady who has been graciously training me for my job is going to be out. I’m to do her job. And I’m still pretty stinking clueless, after a scant three days! So it’s going to be interesting. Frankly, totally nerve-wracking. But, one must eventually take the plunge [...]
Still totally lost. Will be for a few weeks, probably. But lost or not, things have to get done. Be! Aggressive! Be! Be! Aggressive!
At least I’m not wiped out tonight. Last night by this time (10:30 p.m.), I was crashed out in my chair.
Found a [...]
