Tis the season.  It’s pumpkin day.  It’s the day of candy comas, walking ghosts, and moaning mummies.  It’s a day of scares.  For example, it’s the last day for early voting.  Vote now or you  might not have a chance on Tuesday.  Scary, huh?
I actually had nightmares last night in honor of Halloween.  Don’t ask [...]

I just want to say God bless the season of spiced cider, babies dressed as bumble bees, and the blatant self-deceit of adults who buy boat loads of candy “for the kids.” 
Right now, amid political drama, personal issues, private concerns, and economic turmoil, I’d like to remind you all not to take life too seriously.  [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re getting so close to the election that by now you must be getting tired of the phone calls, the door knockers, the petitions for help.  You must also be sick to death of the commercials and posters galore for this candidate or that one.  I understand that.  However, as most of [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, we are so, so close to finally getting through the election and knowing who our new president will be.  We’re one week out and, as with most things, it’s going to be harder before it gets easier. 
With one week left before E-Day, it is essential to work towards the undecided voters and [...]

I had a date last night.  A real life, honest to goodness, out to dinner date.  And here’s the real kicker: I met this guy without the help of the Internet or alcohol.  We weren’t at a bar.  We weren’t matched on various dimensions of compatibility.  We weren’t browsing and clicking buttons.  I met him while [...]

I’m going to go way out on a limb here and say that you folks are probably getting sick to death of canvassers, phone calls, television commercials, radio ads, and campaign mail.  As a door knocker, phone caller, and dedicated volunteer I’m tired of it all.  The other day as I was driving home from [...]

One last reflection of my show before diving back into the world of Obama-land. 
For the sake of my sanity, I’m not going to rehash every moment of the show.  You don’t want to hear about it and I’m trying to move past it.  However, I noticed a few things this weekend about courtesy and respect [...]

All I can say is please wish us luck.  And come if you can.  We’re applause whores and we need you.
A few hours to go…. 
Remember, Armstrong Hall on the Colorado College Campus tonight at 8:00.  Tickets available at the door. 
(I’m still contemplating the Bali option in case you were wondering.  Anyone have a plane I [...]

T minus 33 hours.  A mere 33 hours between me and my opening.  One rehearsal and a cue-to-cue and that’s all that’s left.  That’s it. 
Me and a pregnancy suit out on stage with a cast that barely knows their lines and a million things that could go awry.  Shaky sigh. 
I know I can do this.  [...]

It is 2008, right?  We’re into the new millennium, aren’t we?  We have fancy hand-held computers.  We can buy flour instead of having to grind the wheat ourselves.  We may not have those cool hover boards Michael J. Fox promised us in the 80s, but we’re still doing pretty damn well with all of this [...]
