The Boldly Staying Put Bit
Mr. Squirrel: “I’m good. You good? Good! Gotta go!” Greetings, all! Hope this finds you healthy and hanging in there! As these necessary distancing days wear on, I’ve settled into a routine of alternately exercising, apartment cleaning (kind of a new experience!), continuing to bond with the squirrel quaranteammates outside and, of course – binge […]
The Lessons from the Backyard Bit
My, my, my. Last month’s cheery post about a trip to Colorado seems like an age ago. Now I’m dug in at home, envying the squirrels I see outside my window that can come and go as they please… But that’s absolutely as it has to be right now! And maybe there’s some inspiration to […]

The Journeys with Shakespeare Bit
Good morrow to ye! I’m still feeling slightly Elizabethan-y after a pleasant rendezvous last weekend with a couple friends – and with my all time favorite playwright! On a warm evening in Griffith Park, we took in the Independent Shakespeare Company’s charming outdoor production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre – and while there are questions surrounding […]
