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]
So, I had an exhausting weekend. To put it mildly.
My friend came to visit. Which was really cool, but not the greatest timing. I felt terribly guilty that I have this job now. At the time she made reservations I didn’t. So I basically had to abandon her the first two days of her visit, [...]
Last night I saw Blackbeard for the third and last time.
I LOVE that show. I love its potential as much as what it currently has to offer, which is already great.
Jere took me backstage and introduced me to the cast. I was completely and totally shy and tongue-tied. Shocker. I rarely have anything [...]
I discovered the joys of Wal-Mart today. My friend Sarah would be horrified, she’s always admonishing her friends to avoid it like the plague. But where I work, there’s NOTHING around, and I needed some groceries, so I hit the Wal-Mart Supercenter.
It was a total mecca.
I always thought of Wal-Mart as a [...]
First, thank-you to the gracious strangers (all of whom, except for one, I’ve never met) who provided kind feedback about The Unreachable Star. I have added some of your words to the page on this site devoted to the book.
Now - I just got back from Las Vegas. Conrad had a convention there, and on the [...]
For those who missed SNL last night, this is what genius looks like:
Two women with more talent in their eyelash than most of us have in our whole body. And right now I’m not talking about Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton, I’m talking about Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who together totally brightened my night!
OK, [...]
My colleague recommended a National Geographic show called “Inside 9/11″ and said it was the best account of the occurrence that he had seen, and he’d seen most of them. It was on today and I watched it, while Conrad and Max went to see Mamma Mia! (Yes, again. Repetition is big in [...]
I, uh, saw Blackbeard again tonight. And I’m seeing it once more at least.
I get so much more out of shows when I see them more than once. Like with Blackbeard, I was so wowed by so many aspects of the show, that I needed to see it again to understand the plot [...]
I mean, I did get paid and I’m in a good mood, it being Friday and all. But you know? Working for the courts is pretty cool.
I mean, I really thought about it when I went through training this week. I work for a JUDGE. I mean, how cool is that, [...]
9/11. It was the day after my wedding, and one of the weirdest and happiest days of my life. We were in Hawaii, on our honeymoon. Our personal experience was such a strange contrast to the events of the day. We were aware, of course, and horrified - but it was [...]
Yesterday I wrote the following, and today I’m happier. Go figure.:
You know, my husband and I are not in the cheeriest professions.
If I pay attention, every case that passes across my desk is sad in some sense. Some child gone wrong, or some child whose family has failed to protect him the way [...]
