On Tuesday someone asked me how I would live differently if I knew I’d die in five years. One of my answers was: I’d probably share music with people more—not be as timid about singing or playing the piano or even my feeble attempts at guitar. So the question is always, “Why don’t you do [...]

I didn’t go as a superhero, though, unless you count Super Cute.) * * * I used to spend each New Year’s Eve writing in my private journal, reflecting [...]

I just finished a Novelty, Folk, and Line Dance class at college. Okay, so it’s a phys. ed. class, but it feels more sophisticated to say I “took dance” at college. Two years ago I took a Ballroom Dance (Latin/Salsa) class. I have this dancing bug in me now and it’s making me do crazy [...]
