I can’t find a lot of information on Alice Simpson.  She may or may not still be alive.  If she’s alive – she’s around 78 years old.  I hope she’s still alive and I hope she is still making art because her art is terrific. She is the daughter of “rubber-legged” eccentric dancer Hal Sherman…

Well, not really the top – but close enough. When I lived in LA I moved – a lot.  I used to say, instead of spring cleaning – I moved. For a while, I lived in Silverlake.  Over by the stadium – in fact the stadium was just on the other side of the hill…

Our old little brown tabby Leo suffers from the pukes from time to time. Today was one of those time to times. Not only does he puke, but he has to be an asshole about it. I swear, he pukes right where he thinks we’re (or more specifically I) going to step. Like right next…

I have been on a hunt for software that will scrub vocals from a CD; to create my own karaoke-type track. Of course, I can’t do anything the easy way.  Easy would make me happy, and nobody wants that!  Now, you can get just about any song already made into a karaoke track. BUT (yes,…

Since we entered the Covid-verse, when I do the weekly grocery shopping I pick up some frozen breakfast entrée.  Before the time of masks and distancing, we went out to breakfast Sunday mornings; but of course that is but a fond memory now.  So every week for the last seven months, I have been picking…

Doctors and researchers call it the “Obesity Paradox” when fat people do better than non-fat people in certain medical situations. I wish they would call it what it is – “Fat Protection” or “Fat Evolutionary Benefit Syndrome”.  There are simply times when being fat provides protection. Nobody seems to know why, and the researchers are…

My husband and I were watching one of our favorite TV shows – Ridiculousness and there was a video of a woman getting knocked to the floor – twice by a Great Dane. I commented, “Great Danes are assholes.” I happen to KNOW Great Danes are assholes because I had the dubious honor of having…

I have been in search of a good (read = fat old lady user friendly) vocal scrubber software.  It’s something you would use to create your own karaoke-like track from a CD.  Mind you, I don’t want to become a fucking sound engineer.  I just want to remove the vocal tracks from a song.  It’s…

I had the ultimate theater nightmare – only with a 2020 twist! (As if regular theater nightmares aren’t bad enough!) In my dream, I was really sick.  I was sure I had COVID-19. For some reason, I couldn’t call the theater (the Fischer Opera Haus – where I performed for years) and let them know…

We had an adventure this weekend. My husband likes to get some kind of exercise twice a day.  With the pandemic and with our weather being uncomfortably hot, he has cut back on doing his walking; and instead, he’s been doing cleaning around the house!  (I know y’all are jealous and you should be!) Well…
