Harold and Maude, Hard Days Night, Tank Girl

Dying for Sex on Hulu is THE best show I've seen. Deals with two topics that our society doesn't deal with very well and shows you how it's done. Thank you to the incredible writers, director, actors, and crew that made it happen. Wow.

I believe we had 1600 in PT. Incredible drone footage... www.facebook.com/share/r/1F8W...

20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow YouTube video by PoliticsGirl

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Wonder what is says about my general levels of stress that I'm looking forward to being sedated for my colonoscopy today...

Rediscovering System of a Down. It's feeding me right now.

Saw it last night. We really enjoyed it. The performances and story were wonderful.

What an incredible run! So grateful for this experience. I'm reminded again and again how much art can heal.

"Great Dunsinane he strongly fortifies. Some say he's mad, others that lesser hate him, do call it valiant fury. But for certain, he cannot buckle his distempered cause within the belt of rule"

"Well, march we on, to give obedience where tis truly owed. Meet we the med'cine of the sickly weal, and with him, pour we in our country's purge, each drop of us."

We have two shows left. Tonight, and our closing matinee tomorrow. It's been an incredible honor working with such a wonderful group of theater artists. Every time I say my lines I think of our country being ransacked. 🧵

Thank you, Layla! I wish you could see it too. I know you'd enjoy it. And yes, I hope to do more... 😊

Thoughts and musings after finishing our 1st weekend of performances of MacBeth here in Port Townsend...
1) I'm exhausted, but happy
2) The energy each audience brings is crucial to the process of theater and so, so lovely
3) I've missed being a part of a theater community - and this is a good one

Opening night! Tickets are selling fast and several shows are already sold out... saltfiretheatre.org

It's been a long while since I've acted in a full on production like this. I had forgotten how grounding it is for my mental health... When I'm at the theater, everything else just fades away. I can't say enough about the cast, crew, and director. It's an honor to work with each and every one.

I think I'd rather develop skills to deal with fear and stress in healthy ways, which is what I'm working on currently.

I read this to Donn and he said "fearless is foolish". I can see his point.

Just got home from a 4 day business trip. I'm in my jammies sitting on my comfy couch home with my love and my kitties. Life is so good right now.

I dreamt I sat down to greet a couple of old friends and then Gene Wilder walked up to join us. I stammered out how lovely it was to meet him, and held out my hand to shake his, but my hand was stuck inside my sleeve. We both laughed and then I woke up..

There's nothing quite like losing myself in a rehearsal of MacBeth after a tough day at work. Murder on stage does wonders for one's mental health...

Love that. I really appreciate you, Layla, and the friendship we share. May 2025 bring you many wonderful moments and the support you need when things are hard.

Focus on living life, each moment, and loving those around me as fully as I can.

2024 was a struggle for me on a few fronts. However, there was plenty to be grateful for and I will always endeavor to focus on that. Heading into 2025, I hope to give myself grace, make and solidify new friends, do more art, dance more, and paint my surroundings with color and beauty.

Yes, I think he's doing great, but he has better and worse days...

Donn had a heart attack in 2020, and since then has been dealing with chronic pain and anxiety.

We love our home and our cats. So, a lot to be grateful for. I love that you're a Santa!
