6 Must See Movies
Bringing up Baby (1938): Screwball at its screwiest! Katherine Hepburn is delightfully daffy as society girl, Susan, and Cary Grant is her comedic equal as anthropologist, David. A collection of excellent supporting players make this a first rate flick.

Madame George. Top Story - July 2025.
When I first moved away from my hometown to the big city (many years ago) I was kind of lonely, but I had good company in a record album I took with me: Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. No one does melancholy and commiseration quite like Morrison, and so his first solo album was getting plenty of air time at my new digs.

Ya Gonna Eat That?
I watch a lot of movies. And rewatch the ones I love. A lot. So, of course I eventually notice all sorts of stuff about them that before we had instant replay would've gone unnoticed by the motion-picture-going public.

Dear Beerbelly Cheesecake: We're Just Fine, Thx! XO, Stella.. Top Story - May 2023.
As I walked out the front door of our house, Curtis charged right after me, his mouth was as wide open as his jaw hinges would allow. His tongue wagged wildly and his lips never seemed to touch each other as he yelled at full volume.

The Pink Book 4
The Lindy Hop is what gave birth to the phrase "cut a rug", as it was such an energetic dance that it gave the appearance of gashes to any underfoot carpeting. AKA the jitterbug, this dance was invented in the heart of 1920s Black America: Harlem, New York City.

The pink book is little: pocket-sized, in fact; nevertheless it has a lot of pages! So, here's some more of the glory and wisdom from my little pocket-sized brain -

The Pink Book
Empty little journals, I have a few. And I filled one with tips I'd like to pass along to anyone who wants them (that means you, my children). It has a pink cover, so I call it The Pink Book. That's a working title and these are working pages. It's a WIP, as am I.

Judith. Top Story - June 2025.
I would visit to massage her feet and help in any other way I could. Her conversation was often about her son, just five years old at the time. She ruminated on what would become of him once she was gone. That concerned her most of all.

The Cutup
My middle child has a comedy special on Crave TV. I wrote about it for Letterboxd: “Original, hilarious & intelligent, this comedy special is downright brilliant." Okay, what did you expect from his mother? A pan?

Bye Bye Bandit
Dear Sideshow Bandit, This is the end of the road, my friend. I have stood by you for all these years, but now, it’s over. I birthed you and loved you. I still love you. But I’m handing in my resignation as your primary caregiver - not because I don’t believe in you anymore. You know I do. But they don’t. And they are the ones who can make or break you (and me).
