dear james

Although I doubt I will ever be completely coherent when it comes to James Thierree, I suppose now is as good a time as any to write about him. While I strive to enjoy every production or performance I get to see and try to find something lovely in it, there is something about my…

out in the cold

As I headed to the subway this morning, I didn’t expect to spend over an hour on the above ground platform. But there I stood, with my fingers and toes getting colder and colder and the crowd around me getting larger and larger. I kept thinking about the fact that I left my arm warmers…
