Not to brag, BUT...
Oh, who am I kidding, I'm definitely going to brag. My chorus attended Gala Festival 2016 this week, and not only was it an overall amazing experience, but our choir was chosen (one of only three) out of 225+ choirs as Best of Gala and were invited to perform at the closing ceremony in front of over 5,000 people. Craziness! For anyone interested, ( Read more... ) -
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
OK, but did I ever share my “Hamilton” pics? Because I met some incredible people, and it was an amazing experience. Daveed Diggs said my postcard of Lafayette was “dope,” Anthony Ramos was a sweet, gracious cinnamon roll, and I saw Mark Ruffalo sneaking out the stage door. What a weekend!

She’s been in the hospital almost nonstop since then, but she’s been able to go home for an indeterminate amount of days right before Christmas as they await the results of her bone marrow tests. She’s due to go in for a transplant mid-January; her brother is going to be her ( Read more... ) -
Holiday card, anyone?
It's that time of year again! I have my Christmas/holiday cards ready to send out, and I'd love to pass along the love. If you'd like a card this year, let me know! If I don't have your address already, PM me! -

My choir’s latest CD is out! There’s some damn fine music on it, so if you’re into choral singing at all or you just enjoy quality music, you might want to check it out (?) at http://www.equilibri.com/cd_detail.php?disc=790&item=playlist&genre=19&view=genre. If you listen hard on tracks 2, 9, 10, 13 and 14, you might just hear me in the soprano ( Read more... ) -
Teapots, teapots everywhere!
You asked for it! Since some of you appreciated my teacup collection, it’s only fair that I give attention to my teapots as well. Here we have…
