I remember when my Mom decided that I was old enough to walk to school by myself. I was all of 6 years old! Yay me! I was so very, very proud of myself and the took the job entrusted to me (i.e., get my little butt to school without getting killed) quite seriously. I…
So, my husband and I are watching Ridiculousness – which is going to put us in a goofy giggly mood anyway, when an ad comes on for a shingles vaccine called Shingrix. Okay. First, you need to understand we watch commercials with the sound off – so this ad shows people doing everyday things –…
First, you may have noticed that I am struggling with a consistent title for Tuesdays. I know, I can’t believe that I’ve run out of theater stories already – okay, I haven’t, but I can never think of them come Tuesday. So any Tuesday blog fodder ideas that I can do in rotation with Theater…
Well, this past Saturday was the engagement party of my friend Chris Fernandez and his wonderful fiancé Darrick Wingfield and I had to go. Believe it or not, I have some social anxiety issues which can prevent me from wandering out into the world. Booze used to grease those wheels for me, but I no…
In honor of the engagement of Chris Fernandez (my Herr Schultz) and his beloved Darrick Wingfield – The Pineapple Song which Chris and I performed last night at Chris and Darrick’s engagement party – a wonderful party for a truly wonderful couple!

And so do many other folks – and not just from the fat community. What Ray…
I used to hand write everything. I loved writing. I would write long (long) letters to friends and family. And I loved my handwriting. I was scolded in school because I hold my pen the “wrong” way. When I write (I am right-handed), I hold the pen with the thumb underneath (as does everyone) but…
Yes I know this is a day late; but when I first wrote it, it was more than 3 full pages long. A cooling off period and some major editing was required – and now I’ve edited it and it’s 4 pages long! Sorry, but I just could not contain myself. Read on, if you…
My advice to people who are looking to make friends is always – go volunteer at your local community theater. I don’t care what your skills are; they will be happy to see you and happy to put you to work. You don’t even have to set foot onstage, if you don’t want to –…
That’s all I would like right now. Some peace and quiet. Our orange tabby Murphy is a chatty cat. He is more than that, sometimes he is a whiny, noisy, ass-hat cat He is supposed to be the one with gentle brains. And I think that’s an apt description – however, he just never shuts…
