Do you remember “Opposite Day” when you were in seventh grade?  We would say things to people and laugh it off with “Ha ha, it’s opposite day.  I really hate tomatoes, I don’t love them.  Ha ha!” 
I feel that Leap Day would be a perfectly viable national “Opposite Day,” don’t you?  It’s a day that [...]

When I was in New York I saw a psychic.  She was the neighbor to my hotel and a palm reading was only $5.  I figured I’d take a few minutes to hear that I had a long life line and there was a large amount of money coming to me in the future. 
I was [...]

Tonight I heard what was possibly the nonsensical ramblings of a man on pain killers or the creepiest showing of affection I’ve ever received, or the sweetest gesture a man has given me in a long time. 
Everyone has their idiosyncrasies about appearance.  For some, it’s the abs or the chest that is attractive.  For some [...]

Though it may sound odd, and I am well aware that many of you will disagree, I think one of the most beautiful things in the world is a Broadway song, sung by an actor with passion.  Musicals have changed in the last twenty years, and some have not changed for the better.  I don’t [...]

Woo-hoo!  Go Me!  Hallelujah!  Rock on!
I just received a phone call from the Manitou Art Theater in regards to an audition I attended on Saturday.  The MAT is putting on the Six Women Play Festival and I auditioned to be part of it.  They are doing 6 short plays, each no more than about 10 [...]

Gentlemen, a recently conversation with a friend has alerted me to a grave concern for the safety of men in relationships all over this country.  What I’m about to tell you may be a violation of the girl code, but it needs to be said.  Hear me and take this gem of wisdom with you [...]

Greetings, all! Happy Valentine’s Day to each of you.  On this, the Mac-Daddy of all commercialized holidays, I thought I’d make the effort to keep us from getting too bogged down in sappy specials and tear jerker commercials with a few fun bits about the day itself.
First, it is my sister’s birthday.  Happy Birthday, love!  [...]

“The only thing constant is change.”
We’ve all heard this quote or some variation of it.  As with most cliches, though it sounds a little tired and well worn, we still acknowledge the kernel truth buried within it.  Change is inevitable.  Hair styles, fashion fads,  weather and time continue to march on whether or not we’re ready to move with [...]

It’s funny how there are days when your entire life makes no sense at all and you look around and you search for something that has any semblance of order or design.  I have moments when I wake up and I can scarcely recognize my surroundings.  How did I get here?  What choices in my [...]

I’m having a fabulous time in Afghanistan.  Who wants Portland when I’ve got loads and loads of Middle Eastern drama instead? 
Truth be told, I am really enjoying this vacation though the camel is proving to be a little disconcerting.
(In case anyone is confused, take a look at Choices, Choices.  Boy, I’m dumb sometimes.)
