Sweet news!

Hey, you guys. I have some great news. Apparently the universe has not, in fact, been sending me signals that I should avoid being virtuous by  eating more healthful superfoods. Yes, I had three kale-amities, but I was wrong about the common denominator; You see, I had thought it was the kale. No, no, no, my friends. This is what ...

Something interesting happened to me this week; my iPhone stopped working. It was on Thursday, New Year's Day, and one minute it was sending and receiving texts (despite being shattered and an eyesore) and the next minute the screen became completely dysfunctional. I could not use it at all, which meant that I could not swipe ...

I write about our daily dance parties, my deep love for the music of Brett Dennen, my rich history with musical theatre and the soundtrack that makes up my life.

That which is ours.
