Decluttering
I walked into my closet yesterday and very quickly walked back out. I have been doing this a lot recently. I am extremely talented at acquiring new things, and terrible at getting rid of the old. Every square inch is crammed, mostly with things I haven’t even looked at for two years, let alone worn. […]

I discovered Game of Thrones two weeks ago
I have just lost the last two weeks of my life. Nothing terrible happened, other than that I discovered Game of Thrones two weeks ago, and I have not been able to do anything until after I managed to squeeze five years of programming into two weeks. It was something of a feat. I would […]

Supper Club
I am not a big fan of Twitter. I was, when it first started. I became completely obsessed, and after a while found myself standing slightly on the outside of my life, as if looking through the lens of a 140-character quote that could manage to be witty, warm, pithy and wise. Until a few […]

That time I had a hysterectomy and didn’t tell my friends
A few years ago I had lunch with a former agent who said she had been going through something of a tough time where she had suddenly realized she had hit middle age, and was attempting to come to terms with her mortality. I nodded sympathetically, but had absolutely no idea what she was talking […]

Literary Festival From Hell
I was browsing the biog of one of the musicians who played at our David Bowie Night of Celebration and started wriggling with excitement when I noticed he had played with Rupert Holmes. Rupert who? I hear you ask. Rupert Holmes! He sang (and wrote) Escape. Escape? I hear you ask. Never heard of it. […]

The power of euphemisms
We have been holding rehearsals for my David Bowie tribute memorial nostalgia lovefest thing. I don’t really know what to call it, but it is going to be wonderful. It didn’t start off quite so wonderfully. A musician/music director was recommended to me who showed up and said he wanted a bigger venue and lots […]

David Bowie
I am still finding the loss of David Bowie painfully large. I will confess, I have not been a consistently loyal fan all these years, but from 12 to around 18, David Bowie was my world, and I can still sing, word for word, pretty much every one of his songs. A friend of mine […]

Love makes the world go around
Ten years ago, just after my first marriage ended, I picked up the phone and answered an ad for a tiny little rental cottage by the beach in Westport. The phone was answered by the man who was to become my landlord, neighbor, and three years later, my husband. The stars were aligned that […]
