First I’m going on the record to say I liked President Obama’s State of the Union Address Tuesday night. I think he challenged all of us to work harder for a unified nation, and only the media and certain politicians decided that Obama’s remarks were aimed at specific people. Although, we do need to call people out

This was another crazy busy week for me, as will the next few be until our show opens at the Winnsboro Center For the Arts. If you click over, you can see the awesome poster that was made for “Scrooge.” It features the two actors who have played Scrooge and Marley since we first started

I had company for several days this week. My friend, Jan and her brother, Jim, came for a visit and we had a grand time reminiscing about our childhoods. Jan and I have been friends since we were 11 years old, and the friendship has weathered the years and the separations well. She lives in

What’s trending in the news this week is pretty disgusting, so full of hatred with folks spewing venom like lava from Mt. St. Helen. This from a pastor in Arizona about Caitlyn Jenner, “Listen to me, I hate him with a perfect hatred. I have no love for this Bruce freak. I hope he dies

It’s been a busy week for me, but not with my usual busyness at the art center. This week I have been working on the rewrite of Evelyn Evolving, the book I’m writing based on my mother’s life. I received some excellent feedback from Kathryn Craft, a writer and developmental editor, and I am making
