The extent of our conversing these days (I am madly doing fundraiser business and Simon is writing a $100,000 dollar grant…and, oh yeah, helping me with fundraiser business. ‘Cause you can’t live with me and not help me. I have this way of sucking people into my exciting vortex): SIMON. “I just chipped my front [...]
So as I said yesterday, I’m a little stressed. I might have have bitten off more than I could chew. The proverbial big bite. Marie-Claire and I are doing a fundraiser on July 26 at 7 PM at COOL HAND OF A GIRL for our theatre company. And you are most definitely invited. Even if [...]

Then I went in to rescue a [...]

Today I sat in the lobby while person after person came in from their morning runs. Not understanding how the people can drink that much just before bed and then get up and jog. In the very warm air. Let me ask Simon. Or my new Bahamian friend, Cash. Cash said he would help me [...]
I wasn’t lying when I said we were funding a trip to the Bahamas with our tax return. Nope. All truth. So here we are. The water is truly turquoise, the drinks are truly abundant, and the food goes on and on. Kind of perplexed by the notion of the ‘all-inclusive buffet.’ Why are fifteen [...]
