The play is done! Long live the play!
Well, the play is over. It was a ragtag last minute dash to the finish to create the play (the first performance was also the first run-through without stopping!) Nevertheless, we got lots of great comments, a lot of people really seemed to dig my work, and I really enjoyed working with everybody in the…

We’re so yonked!
Tres Leches Cake, decorated and made by local bakery Cristina’s. It was very good. The party was a lot of fun, as Stephanie said. Amazingly, neither of us took any pictures, as we were too busy having fun, tending to guests, and just reveling in the fact that we can have a fair amount of…

Party in da house
No one fell off the crooked front porch or got sick from the food (not that I know of, anyway) – so I’d deem our first official (big) party a huge success! Our friend S did cut his finger using my amazing ceramic knives – but a bandaid was all it took and the salad…

The Drowsy Chaperone: a mini-review
We saw the Drowsy Chaperone on Tuesday night. Great fun. Just a brilliant concept incredibly well done. (Thanks to Stephanie’s parents, who were in town for a tradeshow. Thank you for an amazing night at the theatre!) (For those that don’t know, the story is of a guy (The Man in the Chair) who is…

Days in Yonkers, Nights at the Circus
As the title says, I’ve been spending my days in Yonkers, trying to get everything done, but my nights are at the Circus. Well, at night, I’ve been at Nights At the Circus. It’s a play I’m doing at the NY Fringe– the first show I’ve done since moving here. I got it quite by…

In which we serve dinner to other people
We had our first dinner party in the house! And it went very well! Not sure if it actually qualifies as a dinner party– Stephanie’s parents (dad and step-mom) were in town for a trade show, and they came out to the house so we’d have dinner. Is a dinner for 4 a dinner party?…

Everything has gone wrong today.
Not having the best of days today. 1) It’s +90 degrees (inside the house!) I’m cursing that stupid insulation,that is apparently keeping all of the hot air in the house. I’m camped outin the bedroom, where the air conditioner is struggling to get it down to76. At least it’s relatively cool in here. I bought…

The Enormous Bed
I’m not talking about the book by EE Cummings. I’m talking about the king size bed that we bought the other day at Sleepy’s. It replaces the queen size bed that Stephanie has had for ever, the futon that I have had forever, and the floor, which is what we might have had to sleep…
