Phèdre through Feb. 7th at A.C.T.
Jan 31, 2010
Rarely have I looked back with gratitude to a college professor for “unlocking the passion to learn.” Mostly because, I was already interested in the topic. However, when it came to taking a required Shakespeare class to complete my English degree, I do tip my hat to Dr. Stephan...

Forgive me, readers for I have sinned
Jan 26, 2010
I'm nearly 42 years old and I'm finally, really, truly finally (I think) doing exactly what I want to be doing. I'm finally, really, truly finally (I think) following my passions, throwing caution to the wind (not all caution, but a lot of it) and just seeing what happens.

Dec 28, 2009

Holi-Dazed
Dec 22, 2009

Stop the Bleeding
Dec 7, 2009

Passing the Marathon Torch
Nov 17, 2009
Finally, after years of saying, "I want to run a marathon," I can now say, "I ran a marathon." It was brutal. San Antonio was unseasonably warm with 94 percent humidity. Training in Marin doesn't really prepare you for 94 percent humidity. It sucked. A lot.
It’s Just Lunch
Nov 11, 2009
Why is it so surprising that a father can take care of his kid (or kids) when the wife/partner/insert appropriate term here is away? Fathers ARE parents, too, right? Right?
