This weekend my baby turned one. I type these words with tears in my eyes. Some are happy tears, some are grateful tears, and some, I will admit, are wistful. My son; this child of mine has surprised me from the very beginning. He surprised me when I peed on a stick and saw two lines. Really? But ...
I mean, why settle for four eyes
when you can have eight? So, yeah, this morning we found out that our baby boy, 10 days shy of his first birthday, will need glasses, just like his big sister. Evidently, though, he is an overachiever, because whereas she didn't need them until she was 13 months old, he is getting them before 12. Atta boy! And though he ...

Musical Theatre has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started acting out the Wizard of Oz word for word from age 2; I was acting in school plays by age 6; I went to drama camp as a pre-teen and then became a drama counselor, then improv teacher than show ...
Everybody’s on the food chain, funny, but from day to day we get from bottom to top. And if you get lost, just start over again…
Music is such a big part of my being. Last night, my new band had it's first big gig. Two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, and a microphone for me to sing into. It was exhilarating. I got to dance in wedge heels and belt out tunes from John Pryne and Led Zeppelin and Sublime and be awed, ...
