— From EF — I’m in Milwaukee. It’s zero degrees, and the wind can freeze your face off in nothing flat. I took off for a few days to be with a dear friend who just lost her mate to a cerebral aneurysm. Shopping, cooking, drinking wine together — the small things that...

— From EF — If you’ve been reading this blog a while, you know that trips to the ocean are a staple on our sanity schedule. Something that never fails to amaze me is how that Lady’s face is never the same, and how her power is always manifest, whether in tumult or in...

— From the Fool — I didn’t make resolutions because I forgot it was New Year’s. It didn’t look very new, and in the news they were still fighting, so it didn’t seem to make much difference in the larger scope of things if I sometimes forgot to feed...

— From EF — I have a problem going to see live theatre, because that’s my life. It’s what I do, what I have always done, and I expect to feel like family when I walk in the door. With our most recent Lear tour, I was acutely aware that many, if not most, of the people...

— From the Fool — Once I tried to keep a diary, but it didn’t work out. The first day, the cat did something funny and I wrote about that. The next day she just sat there, so I thought, well, maybe I could do something myself so I could write it down, because...

— From EF — The ocean welcomed us again today, although it was so enthusiastic that we had to have our picnic in the car. It was sunny, yes, but the wind was beyond energetic. Opening the car door to get the picnic hamper out of the back was nearly a demo derby. But...
