Is Gatsby Really Great?

Today I had planned to drive back to the cape and go to night yoga. Then yesterday an email pops up to change my plans. It’s from a good friend: Gatsby? Tomorrow? 3:30?

Les Mis!

Tonight my husband and I ventured out into the pouring rain to go see Les Miserables. We got there early and grabbed our large bucket of popcorn, which we put a pretty good dent in before we even got inside the theatre. Once inside, it was gone before the trailers were finished.

Why Do I Read?

One might ask, “Why would you ever stop to even ask yourself that question?”. Once again I was moved by the words of another writer. Ariana Huffington was on CBS this morning remembering her good friend, Nora Ephton, who passed away yesterday. (Screenwriter for “When Haryy Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) Nora was one of . . . → Read More: Why Do I Read?

A Marigold Day

Today was an “artist date” to top all artists dates. You’re supposed to take only yourself on an artist date, but today I had to break that rule. A fellow writer friend was badly in need of an artist date herself, I had the perfect venues picked out, we love each other’s company, so how . . . → Read More: A Marigold Day

Jason Mraz, Bikram, & Mockingjay

Well, that just about covers it all, doesn’t it? After writing that title I had to laugh at the amazing numbers of categories I had to check for this blog. The combination is a bit weird, but who am I to question when the universe moves and speaks?
