Like so many theater students and buffs, if asked how many minutes make up a year - a question that would stump the layperson and require a calculator - I can immediately sing the answer. Seasons of Love from the... Continue reading

How Do I Loathe Thee? Let Me Count The Ways
Image

The Pandemic We Ignore - Another Day, Another Deadly Mass Shooting
Image
I don't sleep solidly at night, so my dark hours find me keeping up with news, reading recaps of shows I watch, and falling down rabbit holes of topics about which I wish to learn more. As such, should news... Continue reading

Someone I Love Is Transgender
Image
The graphic was sent to me this morning. Simple, beautiful, and I posted it immediately. On this Trans Day of Visibility, it is impossible to overstate how deep to me is the meaning in these few words. Not because today... Continue reading

Mourning In America ... Again
Image
I had spent yesterday continuing to recuperate, cleaning, chatting with my kids, doing laundry, petting my cats, and writing about the murderer from last week's mass shooting in Georgia. So as I had been writing, I had not been watching... Continue reading

Holy Hell

So, I admit to being well over a decade late to the party, but I have been binging Grey's Anatomy for two solid months now. Better late than never, as they say. Great drama, cool medical anomalies, strong characters, plenty... Continue reading

Poor Little White Man Syndrome
Image
The news broke while we were watching Rachel last night. 8 people gunned down in Georgia. It made me realize that, while shootings have not disappeared during the past year of quarantine, in fact we reached a record high number... Continue reading

Send In The Clown?
Image
Early this morning, my husband received his first vaccine shot. And he was glad. He didn't complain about the time I was able to grab for him. He needed no prodding when his age group opened up. No convincing that... Continue reading

Do Not Throw Away Your Shot
Image
It was right about this time last year when the world went to shit. (Sorry, with COVID, I dispense with the pleasantries.) My husband and I had just returned from a wonderful trip back to Kauai and he was ready... Continue reading

It Just Should Not Be This Way
Image
Food. We cannot exist without it, yet so many are pushed to the very edge of our human existence by hunger, by the threat of hunger. I have taken a break from writing for a couple weeks now. My mind... Continue reading

Remembering Coach Carol: The Gift Of Memories

I wrote the following piece back in 2014. My beloved theater "coach", Carol, contained in the lines below, passed away earlier this week. I have often written about how a death leaves a hole in your universe. How, while we... Continue reading

GQP: The Party of Hate, Bigotry, and Ignorance
Image
It's no secret what the GOP has morphed into through the years. Long gone are the days where true political differences separated the two main parties in this country; the days when GOP Senators and Congresspeople could be found sitting... Continue reading

Sorry, Mexico, We're Not Sending Our Best

Grocery store shelves are empty. Restocking cannot happen because trucks cannot navigate the frozen roads. Homes have been without heat for up to five days (my daughter's included). Power still eludes millions and if it comes on, there is no... Continue reading

They Can't Handle The Truth

Back in 1992, we all felt our hearts race as that pivotal A Few Good Men line rang out like thunder from Jack Nicholson's Colonel Nathan Jessup to Tom Cruise's military lawyer Daniel Kaffee. "You can't handle the truth!" That... Continue reading

Adrift On A River of Razors: The Acquittal of Trump ... Again
Image
The outcome was not a surprise. It was an absolute, vile, foregone conclusion. The rancid bag of orange bile who incited an insurrection, who cheered the terrorists on, who refused to call off his dogs, who masturbated while watching the... Continue reading

Is This America?
Image
It should be mandatory viewing. It should be. The impeachment hearings should be standing room only, hear-a-pin-drop, hanging-on-every-word viewing for every citizen of this country. Hell, of this world. Yes, world. The world has been held hostage by the Trump... Continue reading

For Some Moments There Are No Words

Quiet. Yes, I have been quiet since January 20th when I sat down and wrote about the inauguration while watching the inauguration. It was a wonderful morning of lasting imagery, healing words spoken, and the long lost feeling of hope... Continue reading

The Audacity of NOPE

We did it. In Survivor-speak, we Outplayed, Outwitted, Outlasted the abomination that has been the past four years under the hideous orange stain of the Trump badministration. For four years - actually more as we had to endure the time... Continue reading

It has been four days since the jaw dropping scenes filled our televisions, since horrific photos made our online feeds hard to keep up with, since every single thing we have worried about for five years came to pass. An... Continue reading

The Unbearable Whiteness Of Seeing

It has been roughly 24 hours since we witnessed an assault on the highest halls of our democracy. 24 hours to process what happened. 24 hours to read eyewitness media accounts. 24 hours to see fully via video and photos... Continue reading
