First, congrats to yours truly for having a blog idea and actually starting the post before said idea disappeared in the echoing empty halls of my fat old lady brain.  (See, I do know better.) Second, I am so pleased that I have FINALLY mastered the art of making crescent dogs. You know, that delectable…

I like having a routine. Actually, I love having a routine. It is definitely not a good thing when something fucks with my routine. Like an election. No, I’m not talking about the politics – that’s a whole other blog post and I don’t do political blog posts because I don’t need anybody handing my…

Yes, I am going to be doing something theatrically.  Don’t faint (I may or may not be talking to myself.) Sunnyvale Community Players (SCP) put out the call for submissions for an online holiday show – Holidays at Home – A Memory Lane Special. I submitted my idea, and was invited to do a callback…

So I started apartment hunting.  I ended up in the Fairfax District-ish / West Hollywood-ish area, about two blocks from the corner…

Can animals sense tension in their human servants? Maybe that’s why Leo did what he did. I don’t know and he’s not telling. Last night, I was very anxious as the election results were coming in by dribs and drabs and no answer in sight (which, of course, is exactly what we were warned would…

Makeup. People who have been in theater for a long time tend to have an inordinate amount of makeup. I have been in the theater for a long time. And I have the makeup to prove it. There are three reasons for the accumulation. First, you are constantly on the hunt for the perfect foundation/base…

There is not much in my life that makes me feel like a grownup. I have avoided growing up assiduously. But you know what makes me feel grownup?  Making a good meal that is a good for us. Tasty is always good. But a lot of non-grownup food is tasty. And easy is always appreciated.…

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…
