It may be cheesy, but I love May the Fourth. Whoever came up with Star Wars Day deserves an award. I am 51 years old. I have loved all things Star Wars since I was five. I love everything about it. It just makes me flat-out happy. Star Wars was the...
In recent years I’ve tried to be more open and honest about my mental health struggles. I believe strongly in normalizing mental health. That shit isn’t going to happen if we don’t talk about it. I will continue with this mission, but I’ve found a...
I’ve been married for nearly 30 years and I love my husband very much. If we’re being honest, there are probably very few (if any) other people on this earth who could put up with my nonsense. I’m difficult. I know that. Despite my love for my...

Recently, I read the delightful autobiography of movie and theater legend Mel Brooks. What a fascinating life he has lived. He has been a part of some of my favorite productions. I loved learning the inside story of those, but what struck a chord...
I could live to be 100 and I don’t think I will ever understand my dogs’ hatred of the UPS man. They get a little wound up over the mailman and the FedEx guy, but the UPS man sends them over the damn edge. I have a theory. In this theory, I’m...
In my opinion community theater is an absolute treasure. I love pretty much all theater. However, there is something about people joining forces, not making a dime, just for the love of the art. It gives me great joy. It is not just the actors. The...
One of my favorite days of the year is March 5. It is Gotcha Day for my family. For those of you not in the know, that is what most adoptive families call the day they got their child. We got Josie March 5, 2007. Goodness. It’s hard to believe it...
