Well, I’m glad I did it.  The piece worked.  A couple of people said “it was beautiful”. I had, let me see, I think 10 different bags plus two umbrellas, a big one and a child size one, shirts on hangers in plastic and a plant in a cup.  Within the different bags I had [...]

  I just got home from rehearsal at the Producers Club.  I had to take my kid with me, bribing her with the promise of a McDonald’s Happy Meal in Times Square if she was good.  She only disrupted once, when she was running up the aisle and fell and scraped about 5 inches of [...]

OK, so it was a catered potluck that we went to tonight.  Who caters a potluck  Well, I would if I could… A whole brownstone… My kid was obsessed with the pogo stick and got up to 14 jumps, a household record apparently. Someone named Kathy, the godmother of one of my kid’s First Communion [...]
