Can't say enough nice things about Brody Theater. They were great to work with - all set up and ready to go an hour early. All the cougars did a great job performing. Stay tuned for pictures. My Flip camera broke, so we didn't get video. Huge bummer. But we did get an MP3 recording …

Wake up! It’s almost Christmas
A light bulb finally went off in my head this morning. Christmas is next week. I'd better get started. I've got things to buy, things to ship, cards to write. Oh yeah, cards. I was happy flapping around in Xmas denial, but it's over now. How could I let this happen? It's not like Christmas …
Going again anyway
So what if we got on stage at "Suck My Open Mic" before midnight? So what if I'm old enough to be their dysfunctional mother? So what if I crawled up to the stage like a slug on a salted road? We did it anyway. Tomorrow night, we're doing it again. The audience turned out …

Brody Theater rocks
Open Mic Night. 9:45 pm sign up. Betsy and I get there after walking past a gaggle of drag queens over at Embers. Nothing makes me feel safer in a neighborhood than drag queens. I'm serious - if there's one person you want defending you, it's a drag queen. I have immense respect for anyone …

Suck my what?
Open Mic, yo! People say Alberta St. Pub offers the best open mic in town (1036 NE Alberta St.) Nicole and I are going to give it a try tonight. From what I hear, we'll need to get in line early. It's popular. Show starts at 8 pm.

It all started because I was afraid to bring my five-year-old birdwatching with me for fear she would launch a tantrum and cause all of the birds to migrate. Then, an angry hoard of bird watchers would chase me, binoculars flying. “Now look what you’ve done!” they’d …
