I went to see Ingrid Michaelson in concert last Friday night. Sigh. It was too wonderful for words. My favorite song is listed below. The woman is divine. I love her. I love life now that I’ve discovered her music. And you will too! In other news–I’m directing 7th graders in A Midsummer Night’s Dream,Continue reading “Ingrid Michaelson”

Isn’t this kind of like talking toContinue reading “Comments and Seduction”

I love March. March is the time when your tax refund magically appears in your bank account and the world begins to blossom! Yesterday I went on a great walk with my roommate Clarissa down this fabulous path near our house. We walked through this great wooded area near a river, just enjoying the lovelyContinue reading “March Madness”
