Viva Voce: My choir from 2002-2006 If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE to sing. I love the feeling of accomplishment of polishing a piece that seemed impossible when first sightread. I love the anticipation of a performance. I love the camaraderie of a tightknit ensemble. And of course, I love […]
Lately on Sundays, I’ve been trying to listen to music that is more spiritual than my usual fare. I grew up on the classical music and Mormon Tabernacle Choir, of which my Uncle David and friend Neil are currently members. It’s still a dream to someday be a part of the Mo-Tab. Last weekend, I […]
LENKA + JUSTIN NOZUKA + MISSY HIGGINS = The most perfectly balanced and enjoyable 3-act concert lineup I’ve ever experienced Last night, Taylor and I went to ATL Center Stage to see a concert I’ve been anticipating for months. I have been an avid fan of Missy Higgins since 2005, when she opened for Anna […]

Our landlord has been working with the condo association to schedule a pest control company to come in, but it hasn’t happened yet. We’ve been […]
As the wife of a First Officer pilot, I’ve felt some disappointment about the reduced media bravado for First Officer Jeffrey Skiles. His role in the successful splash landing on the Hudson was just as vital as Captain Sully’s. A CA/FO relationship must be a well-oiled machine, as any pilot will tell you. “Pilot flying” […]

Janet, Rosie and I spent Saturday sightseeing around Dallas. After breakfast, we left the boonies to go back into the city. We met up with Rosie’s aunt and uncle, Julie and Mikal, at the Dallas Galleria. She hadn’t seen them in years, and they showered her with gifts and attention. There was a marionette show […]
