Hi! Whoa- it has been especially long since I last updated this website and emailed the world to spread the news! For this I simultaneously apologize and offer my most heartfelt “you’re welcome”. I don’t know why I have taken so long—it’s not as if I stopped doing stuff, but maybe the output hasn’t been … Continue reading Home Page Post #29

October 4, 2022 Hi! What an unusual several months I’ve spent! In May I had my [personally] triumphant performance, Loving You is Easier (more on that below), which represented to me the successful melding of so much of what I do—visual art, songwriting, costume, performance, writing, design, being angsty, looking—into one “piece”. Then, I immediately … Continue reading Home Page Post #28

Hi! I have something weird to report: these past few months I have had some things going on in my life that involved leaving my apartment. And it’s not over yet! Would you like to leave YOUR apartment and see me doing something that I needed to leave my apartment in order to do? Here … Continue reading Home Page Post #27

June 25, 2021 Hi! It’s been almost a year since the last time I tended to my website and even longer since I sent out a newsletter telling my readers (both of you know who you are!) what is happening in my creative life. Of course, there are many reasons for this lag: pandemic related anxiety … Continue reading Home Page Post #25

Hi! I have lived with the words “You ought to see my heart” in my sketch book for at least 10 years. Fragments of song lyrics such as these – along with old craft and needlework projects, deteriorating mirrors and picture frames, remnants of yarn and notions, and vintage office and art supplies – are among … Continue reading Home Page Post #24
“Don’t Go”
I’ll block your path/Throw myself on the floor/At your feet/Between you and the door
“Morning Already”
Well, would you look at that/The world’s no longer flat/I know where the door is/And I can breathe
“The Last Straw”
And the last time somebody pushed me too far/Was the last time they pushed me too far/But if you want to try it, go on ahead/You’ll find out how sorry you are
“You Ought to See My Heart”
I’ve never seen it but I just know / It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows / It’s my most beautiful part / So, you ought to see my heart

Please accept my most sincere apologies or humble “you are welcome,” depending on your taste in newsletters and long-windedness. The good news for all is that I am writing in time to tell you about Jim’s & my … Continue reading Home Page Post #23

Hi! Happy Summer! Once again, time has gotten away from me. Almost five months have passed since my last newsletter/website update, and I apologize for that. I had intended to get on a more regular schedule, but the usual obstacles have stood in my way: travel, scheduling conflicts, time, energy, paralyzation due to being broke, … Continue reading Home Page Post #22

Hello, people of the world and people of my life (not necessarily in that order)! It’s the end of the year, and something is happening to me that feels really wrong. I have the urge to write one of those year-end wrap-it-up newsletters!! And I know that 54.9% of people polled hate to read them! … Continue reading Home Page Post #21
“Beyond Repair”
Like a priceless antique / That’s been dropped at our feet / You and I are beyond repair
“I Miss You (Little Liar)”
Now the you I see / Is only in my dreams / Mysterious anagrams / You don’t know who I am
I Miss You (Little Liar)

Hi! It’s been 4 months since I last confessed – I mean wrote – to you all. As you may know I am a combination lazy bum/spaz-out overachiever, so in the past 4 months there has been a lot of watching of Turner Classic Movies and running my fingers through the beautiful, tastefully spotted coat … Continue reading Home Page Post #20

June 11, 2018 Hi! Fact: I like to sing!! Question: Would you like to hear me sing? Don’t answer yet! Would it help if it weren’t just me singing alone? Perhaps I have enlisted a power group of the most talented, charismatic, attractive performers to help me out, such as…CHRISTY DAVIS on drums!! JULIE DELANO on bass!! … Continue reading Home Page Post #19
