It’s been too long since I’ve posted a PROMPTuesday. I swear, it took me all last week to put myself back together after a bout of 12-hour days that stretched into oblivion. It’s as if I suffered from a work hangover, and it was sublime lovely but you know when your body tells you…Continue Reading

Pretend I Wrote This Today
Hi! Just back from Los Angeles, where I’ve been three weeks out of this month alone. The first four episodes of BlogThis! have wrapped and now I’m sitting here in San Diego in a “What now?” tizz that will last all of three minutes until my next project hits me in the face with…Continue Reading
Working Out Screws with Evolution
But really, she’s like the blondie, feather-haired cheerleader sister you have, where never in six million years will you perform at the awesome over-achiever level she deems acceptable.
Tid Bittles
Just a few snippets today, presented in random order to mirror my state of mind… Tonight I leave for Los Angeles to begin production on BlogThis! The road (the metaphorical one) wound long because Jess and I have been writing these scripts in one form or another for 18 months and are now seeing…Continue Reading
Celeb Encounter of the Lamest Kind
(A re-post…) Me and Carolyn on the brink of a brush with celebrity. When I first lived in Los Angeles during the early ’90s, my colleague Carolyn and I often met after work for a drink. We usually convened at a bistro-type joint on Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills, a mecca it…Continue Reading
Of Narcissism and Blogging
I know someone whom I loathe engaging in conversation because this person only talks about himself. He’s super creative and takes great pleasure in his skill, which he should, but that’s all that exists, all we talk about, all he wants to discuss at length. Truth is, I can’t recall even one time when…Continue Reading

When a Business Partner is Also a Friend: Why it Could Work
Today, Toots, Booger and I head to Los Angeles to visit my business partner, but we’re not traveling for work. Instead, we’re planning some fun hang-out time because my partner and I are good friends, too. And as we set our social agenda for the week, I reflected back to when Jess and I…Continue Reading
Because Life is Short and I Get It Now
I’m re-posting this for so very many reasons, not the least of which is I’ve come face to face with the idea that a lifetime doesn’t last forever, it just doesn’t. And that’s OK. But it’s sublime, too. In October of last year, my dad made it to the ER just in time to address…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #187: Stolen/Found
This writing prompt is simple: Have you ever stolen anything? Tell the story. Or if you prefer, a flip side: Tell us about something you found. I have tales to tell of both. Post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog…Continue Reading
I Miss My Crazy
You know one of the bummer byproducts of being so busy? No time to be a hypochondriac. There’s all these diseases out there I’m not noticing or rabidly researching and it’s making me a little sad inside. I mean, I used to be a top-producing hypo. Baseless ER visits, vague “chest pains,” ALS scares. And…Continue Reading
Mia: The Hair Saver
A re-post! How weird. I never do that. I first met Mia, my most high esteemed hair stylist, when I was three months pregnant with Toots. My hair — normally a nest for rats on even the best days — was a ball of frizz and tangles. My face looked like zit pizza, and…Continue Reading
