The monsters in my mouth.

I’m no prude, but violence in any form shocks me. (I’m rather hoping that’s a universal statement). But, and here’s where we may differ, my response to it is to laugh. Maybe it’s a nervous habit, maybe...

The monk on a yellow motorcycle.

Again, with the dreams. I’m having such dreams, lately.  A flood. Minus the ark. I think they’re so vehement and vivid because I’m knuckles-down and knee-deep in rehearsals for The Complete Works of...

And, for the record, I really like my shower curtain.

Last night. Oh, my, last night… Full house. Standing ovation. Sheer exhaustion. After party. Kudos. The usuals. Totally worth it…all the rehearsals, which in this case were rather tightly thrown...

Real love requires 2" heels, at least.

That Ken Ludwig. Man. He can’t write a play without causing serious damage to the ankles. (That’s what my feet are saying, anyway. Ah, well, there’s a price to be paid for anything, huh?) Price check...

The very idea of texting your mother…

God help us all if we get arthritis. You tell me if you get this: a student gets up to leave at the end of this morning’s class, and casually turns back to me and says, “Well teetle, I guess! Have a...
