I just posted a blog and I feel done with my computer time for the day. But, I’ve got some tasks to do for the Clown Axioms production which I fear will take longer than they should because of my shakey clerical skills. I’d better take a refreshing shower and eat some protein and then [...]

The New York Downtown Clown Revue, a monthly late night venue for edgy stage clowns, produced and early evening show for children.  So I took My Kid and a Classmate Neighbor Boy to see the fun. As familiar as My Kid is with the clown genre, she and the boy-she’s-known-since-they-were-in-diapers-but-who-is-not-a-friend-because-he-is-a-boy chose seats for us in [...]

So we were at camel park (that’s not it’s real name but there’s this concrete camel in the middle of it so it’s called camel park locally) watching out lithe and graceful daughter in her pink helmet and pink converse sneakers gliding as gracefully as an Olympic ice dancer on her pink Ripstick (registered trademark [...]

Oh that is such a funny Fruedian slip type-o that I’m going to leave it up!  I meant to type: “switching gears”! I’m home from rehearsal and I’m tired, wanna put my feet up and relax but not that’s not going to happen.  I’m a mom.  I gotta go meet The Husband and My Kid [...]

Some days in the studio go well.  Some do not.  Some days are half and half like today.  I thought I was good to go, ready to play all showered and coffeed up and on time (despite the F train)  for rehearsal.  But somewhere in the getting going of things I lost confidence.  It was [...]

After I got home from rehearsal we decided that we would go as a family to see the animated feature, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.  I was expecting something on the level of G-Force, the action movie about super-hero guinea pigs.  My Kid thought it was great.  Me I could have waited for the video. [...]

I’m glad My Kid is not yet a tween. That would be tiresome.  I thought she would be interested in the local preparations for the VH1 DIVAS special was filmed just down the street at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).  For two days blockades have been going up and by 4:00 yesterday flocks of [...]

I don’t know how much of my stress in this modern life comes from waiting around for fragile plastic machines to do what I asked them to do and they don’t hear me when I speak and they don’t understand my words and I’m not allowed to hit them. Even though they are ugly plastic [...]

The Husband took My Kid to school in Brooklyn Heights on his way to his office at Rockefeller Center.  After the cleaning lady arrived at the apartment my old clown college roomate  and I went out for coffee.  She’s New York for a production meeting.  We had time for breakfast at Junior’s before she got [...]

So while I was chatting, I took a paper towel and put it over the bottle brush to get the peanut butter off the inside of the bottle I was washing. I never would have thought of that, she said.
