—From EF— We’re been through this before, when Three Mile Island tried to do its tango. We were in Millersville, 21 miles from ground zero and thus a hangnail’s distance outside the evacuation zone. We were in Philly with the children, doing a little gig, when...

—From EF— This weekend I participated my third women’s medicine circle; the same group has been meeting every three months—spanning the wheel of the year. The experience of sisterhood has been powerful for me, voyaging deep into risky territory in a community of...

—From EF— Color us nuts, but when the invitation came to perform at the Forbidden Puppet Cabaret this past weekend, we first said yes and only then realized that we didn’t have any suitable short pieces that we hadn’t already performed in the many past cabarets,...

—From EF— My mother was the dangerous one, the ever-primed font of rage, but my dad was the big, solid, warm one,. Little as I was, I knew I couldn’t tell him anything about my need for protection, but I still took comfort from his presence, though during weekdays his...

—From EF— We got on a whale watch boat, went out to the Farallon Islands, and it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The ocean isn’t a Chinese carry-out where you can order what you want, but we were in luck. Our sea captain and our naturalist guide both really...
