I don’t know…it’s hot. My brain is melting. In other news, Mom and Dad have gone to London to visit my brother. Rob stubbed his toe, while wearing slippers, on our front steps and is now shy a toenail. I’ll spare you the details. We carried our yard sale things down to the Celsi’s. Speaking […]
What did I do today? Read More »
Today is my brother’s birthday! I have no idea what his plans are, but I’m sure it will involve a pub.
Rob went down to Bethel Heights yesterday and wound up staying overnight because they wanted him back this morning. I knew that would happen. I took advantage of the reversion to my spinster days to continue reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel which I’m very much enjoying.
We worked in the garden today and planted squash, cucumber and basil. I’ve been working on getting the info off my computer so I can send it out for repair. It has had an unpleasent purple stripe down the screen for the last year and this is the first opportunity I’ll have to do without

Today I went on a modeling gig. Rob came with me, and–sit down–modeled for a camera, willingly. We worked out at the beach for a photo duo. Debra and Charles were very nice and we had a great time. They do stock photography for various clients. When our photos are developed they will be in
Don and Yan have taken home the Golden Pepper award for their astounding interpretation of citrus. Kitchen Kowal came in last. We feel pretty good about that. More details to follow! And I have pictures of that pesky champagne tasting too.

Rob and I slept in this morning, although I got up before him. I made biscuits for breakfast which was more of an adventure than one would suspect. I didn’t have quite enough flour, so I wound up adding blue cornmeal and steel cut oats to make up the difference. It’s actually nice. The secret,
I’ll be getting on the airplane to go home in about an hour. Lately, I’ve been selected for special security screening every time out. I’m finding that I really don’t mind. I know the routine, it’s fast, and the lines for the SSSS are shorter than standard security. I make the security people laugh because
We finished the meetings today after getting lots of good work done. Emily and I rode back into NYC together and then headed out to a lovely restaurant for cocktails and appetizers. Then I met Peter and rode the train back up here. Tomorrow, I head back to Portland. Hurrah!
We had another great series of meetings. Lorna joined us today and we hammered out what is happening for most of the show. I don’t have a clean wireless signal here, so this update has to be short. You may not get another till Friday.
Emily and I came up to McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ to work with Chris on our final designs for Arabian Nights. We spent all day in a very long, great meeting going over set and puppet choices. Chris and his wife Jamie are letting Emily and me stay at they home so we don’t
Today after solving a puzzle with three-year old Jonah, I went into the city and had lunch with David. Then I met with Emily about Arabian Nights. From there I went to dinner with Jonathan. All in all, a very satisfying day, but I’m worn out. Tomorrow I go to Princeton.
I went to Staten Island for the first time, in order to have lunch with some writer friends. We had a great time and talked for several hours, and then Dan offered to give me a lift to Brooklyn, since it would save me some time. Or rather, it would have, if his car had
I just sold my fourth story to All-Star Stories Presents: Twenty Epics! It’s called Bound Man and I’m excited beyond the ability to use words effectively. I’m grinning like an idiot. This is the first sale that’s over $10.
I spent the day hanging out shooting the breeze with Ron Binion, an old puppeteer friend of mine. We were meeting for lunch and then wound up talking shop for hours. Afterwards, I met up with Sue B. who is heading to Italy. Now I’m back in Katonah.
