I can’t say I’ve ever asked that a bar stool be considered a piece of luggage before, but that was exactly what I did on the Megabus up...

A standard day at the “office”! So my “day job” here in the city is audiobook narration.  I LOVE it – it’s incredibly challenging,...

I recently read an Ann Friedman interview on the blog “Ways We Work,” which was fantastic, because Ann Friedman is pretty awesome.  But I...

As someone who has now performed steadily in a theatre this year, I can say that many of the etiquette rules that get trampled are in...

I’m about to set foot in Hawaii for the last time on this cruise contract, and with that has come the realization that I haven’t yet...

I feel perpetually behind on blogging right now!  Mostly because our last weeks in Alaska were kind of a blur, due to Mike sailing with...

Life on the cruise ship has become routine.  Not boring, mind you – but normal, standard, “the usual.”  Just as I’ve found my pre-show...

Well, hello again!  I hope you’ll forgive my absence this week.  As I mentioned, I had friends come cruising with me (they were official...
