That is one of my favorite lines from the episode of THE BIG VALLEY –– the first season finale –– where super-beautiful Audra (a pre-Dynasty Linda Evans) –– has to have her appendix removed on a train.
I may or may not weave part of this into my newsletter this month, but I’ve always remembered watch...
Mary Zimmerman is really in a league all her own.
METAMORPHASIS was the play of hers that first really blew my mind –– and I’ve loved others since –– and today I saw WHITE SNAKE at Berkeley Rep and it was predictably astonishing.
It had the two hallmarks of her work I love:
Unbelievably imaginative ...
In all honesty, this WAS the photo on one of my Googles about appendicitis and healing today.
And I have to confess I was incredibly happy that my afternoon yoga client canceled (unaware that I’m still recovering).

I segued back to work today –– more or less –– with 2 client calls and sending out my first 20 Xmas cards. (If you’d like one, just let me know.)

And that was tonight … and it was GENIUS.
And it felt like the story of my life.
UNBELIEVABLY...
Those are what the Kimochi (“a toy with feelings inside”) Octopus called Huggtopus has for feelings: Happy, Silly, Frustrated. And if you’re having trouble sharing your feelings, you can just indicate them with those little guys.
And that’s what Val and her parents gave me when th...
When you’re feeling a sick day (something that happens to me every three years) and your stomach is upset, and you’re drinking tons of herbal tea and bitters and other potions …
I strongly advise you not to leave a cup near your stack of unwritten Xmas cards.
Strongly.
Fortunately, it tur...
I had a very productive day –– several client calls, lots of work for my January gallery show, ending with a dinner with Susan and John and Val and Clark and Jonah and his friend and Val’s parents –– but I have to admit that I’ve been meditating non-stop on all the life lessons from this week&#...
