Emmys 2014
August 26, 2014 Emmys 2014 They snuck up on me. Since I didn’t have to go, and since back-to-school was the same week, searching for an Emmy outfit got upstaged by picking out the right pencil case for my fourth grader. But suddenly the weekend was upon us and suddenly I thought hey! […]
An extra
June 24, 2014 An extra So this spring, as I have every year for the past 13 years, I attempted to balance the work/parent thing. Not unusual, and I’m sure many of you reading this are attempting to do the same thing RIGHT NOW. The balance is ever-shifting, of course. A video game with […]
Leftovers: 1
April 25, 2014 Leftovers: 1 I really had a plan to write about this one, diary-style, for day one. A play-by-play, like the ones I love to read. But here we are, two months in, and I have chronicled not one thing. Except for my tweets about the frigid NY winter and the occasional pic. […]

Guyacando
January 8, 2013 Guyacando When I first talked to CARE about this trip and the fact that my family would be with me, they emphatically told me that these visits would not be appropriate for children.

The End of the World As I Know It
December 17, 2012 The End of the World As I Know It Private Practice wrapped last Friday. We knew it was coming, knew for a couple of months, which is rare. The way these things go, we often don’t. With Judging Amy we didn’t know. We found out during hiatus, when the networks put together […]
