So I took myself to see a matinee on Broadway, something I think I can do just any old time because I live in New York, but of course I can’t because I do my day to day living in New York. So, since this was likely to be my last free Wednesday afternoon, because [...]

I was in Times Square this afternoon and since I had some time before I had to make my way back to Brooklyn to pick up My Kid after school, I decided to go to the drugstore to buy the eyeshadow and press on fingernails that I will wear Monday night in the New York [...]

I suppose the grandparents want to know how the little princess spent her birthday.  And incidentally she loves what you sent! It is so easy to produce an extravagant birthday in New York City.  There was one scheduled event requiring the watching of clocks and hoping the trains ran on time.  We attended a matinee [...]

We took My Kid to see La Familia Dimitri at the New Victory Theatre in Times Square. I’m so glad we did. The Clown Dimitri, even in his 70′s is still charming and adorable and his offspring, all in their 40′s, are fit and accomplished performers with careers of their own who came together for [...]

By Saturday I was so exhausted I was afraid I would forget to show up for my own performance in “Clownical Trials” at Theatrelab. It has been a very long week. It began to go south a week ago Saturday at 8:00 am when the buzzer rang while we were still asleep. It was the [...]

I was a nervous wreck all day. My Kid was home from school so I wasn’t able to hike around the city checking out the energy of the lines outside the polling places. I can go walkabout on my own, but My Kid requires a destination. Finally, around 6 pm I got her on the [...]

My kid is happy as a clam to watch Sponge Bob and eat Halloween candy on this day off from school due to Election Day.  Before I found out there was no school, I thought I would work off my Obama waitin’ nerves walking around Brooklyn and Manhattan checking out the lines at various polling [...]

Yesterday I received an e-mail, forwarded to me by Kendall Cornell.  The Women’s Theatre project was papering their Off-Broadway house for a play about a clown.  So I went.  It was a much nicer theater than the ones I usually get to play.  The stage was large and the grid was jam-packed with lighting instruments. [...]

Thank goodness today’s scheduled group Mommy Camp was cancelled because I am exhausted and I have to work the Macy’s Fireworks VIP audience tonight. We decided on the way home from Coney Island yesterday afternoon that we did not need to get up early today and rush to the Painted Pot to decorate knickknacks in [...]

  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 [...]
