This morning, Belle and I prepped for the arrival of LLS & Philip –- shopping for Canadian delicacies at Whole Foods, etc. –– and then a mini-jump rope session, before heading off to Stinson Beach to celebrate my college roommate’s birthday. That drive is unbelievably spectacular, almost too gorg...

Argh!  The Blue Angels … how they torment my little dog. It was midday when they started and I was at my mailbox picking up not one, but two client checks … when suddenly they started tearing apart the sky. Belle did something slightly even more shocking than not swimming (as she did yesterday)...

The Blue Angels, specifically. They spooked Belle when they started at 1pm today, but then she recovered. It was weird because she reacted way before I could remotely hear the sound of their roars and I wondered just what was frightening my little dog. But then when Belle and I went to the beach at 3:50, t...

Went for my second floatation session today at Zazen –– miraculous because I bought the groupon, and then they screwed up the location and gave me a freebie, so my savings is astronomical. In a way, since I still teach 2.5 people yoga privately just to “stay in the game,” I’m ...

Belle woke me at 6 am –– after I’d stayed up until 2 am working on the new script –– and so I “went with it” and continued structuring the new play while it was still dark until I felt semi-spent again. There’s a particular quality of sleep that happens when ...

10/01 … (and we can throw in an occasional “2”) 10/01/12 OK –– it’s 12:12 am and time to start writing the new script … like FOR REAL.

“I was only 70 –– what was a I supposed to do … retire?” Diana Vreeland quips in THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL about being fired from Vogue and then having her triumphs at the Costume Institute at the Met. I have often written about how I am a HUGE fan of Diana Vreeland’s style and accompli...

Morning yoga client. Then watched Jonah for 45 minutes –– we played WE SKI on Wii which was awesome. And then Valerie 2 and I went off to see a matinee of THE NORMAL HEART, the George C. Wolfe production that’s touring. I’ve always known about the play but never seen or read it before.  So much...

Granted –– it’s less of a statement than a tattoo, but I have been contemplating whether or not I should get a vanity plate when I complete all the car registration stuff for my new wheels. It seems –– like many good and bad things in life –– both self-indulgent and sorta fun. My day [which began at ...
