GREAT review for HAMSTAR!! documentary short
From Movie Line Super flattering review of our documentary short, HAMSTAR, about hamster competitions here in Southern California and in the U.K. They were especially kind to Erin and Tony – our lovely ladies who were so passionate about ALL THINGS HAMSTER. Check it out!
I'M ON SUBSTACK!
Adding another outlet for my writing – which I realize has been missing of late! There will be book excerpts from IS THAT THE SHIRT YOU’RE WEARING? and other new, unpublished material. Please join me there too and say hi when you do!
Why Only Women Should Lead (And Men are Generally Inferior)
There are so many studies showing that women are better leaders, more effective, more transformational, better at handling stress, yet here in the U.S. we’ve let men take charge and clearly make a mess of things because, well, that’s how it’s always been. But honestly who needs science when we know in our gut that women, not men, should lead. Now before I’m accused of misandry (for the male…
You Can Bang That Drum
Published today in Globe and Mail – link to full piece below “You want to learn the what now?” my husband asked. “The drums. I want to learn the drums,” I replied. He was speechless, understandably. Because in our 35 years of marriage, I’ve shown almost no interest in music, other than occasionally saying, “Can you turn that racket down?” But I’ve spent my career working on variety television…
I Made A Movie!
I’m excited to announce that together with my directing/producing partner, Leslie Wilson, and our producer/editor Timothy Schultz, we have made HAMSTAR – a documentary short film. HAMSTAR is a warm and funny film about two ladies who run competitive hamster shows in Southern California. It follows them on their journey to learn from the masters in the U.K., where hamster shows have been a thing…

My New Side Hustle - Refrigerator Repair!
Writing has been my side hustle while working on live variety shows, but I may have found a side hustle that I’m better at – – refrigerator repair. Ignoring the advice of everyone, we put hard wood floors in our kitchen. So, recently, when I awoke to find a puddle on the floor next to my refrigerator, a full-blown panic set in. Something had to be done, and quick. My…

My Husband Used the Big Spoon
My Husband Used the Big Spoon
(Posted today on The Boomer Cafe) Photo by Callan Brakeman That’s twice this week that he used the big spoon. It struck me as odd when I emptied the dishwasher. Now, three days after that, I see that he’s used it again. I shouldn’t give it another thought because my husband Forrest does all the cooking. I should just be thankful. How many wives wouldn’t be thrilled to have their husband cook…

To Survive the Pandemic, I Escaped to the Middle Ages
To Survive the Pandemic, I Escaped to the Middle Ages
Bread making and alcohol – that’s how a lot of my friends got through this past year of Covid seclusion. A more loathsome lot spent their time by picking up a new skill like sewing or guitar, or learning a foreign language. I turned to the Middle Ages. Unemployed and sequestered at home with my husband and daughter, my daily schedule mimicked that of an octogenarian: two-hour breakfast spent…

(A book excerpt from Is That The Shirt You’re Wearing?)
There are were few things more annoying than crazy dog people. They are often worse than new parents in their belief that their dog is more unique or intelligent than other dogs, or people for that matter.
I want to scream whenever I hear a crazy dog person talk about how they have to cook special doggie dinners, or how they had to hire a…

Men Who Wear Masks Get More SEX! My take on mask wearing featured today on Slackjaw! Okay, so maybe this study hasn’t been completed, or published yet, or even started for that matter, but simple deductive reasoning leads to the obvious conclusion that men who wear masks have more sex.
