Biography Research Update!
I’ve been powering through my research into the life and career of musical theater performer J! A considerable amount of the research is too tedious to share here, which is why I created Alternative Muses. Occasionally I come across something too fun to keep to myself or limit to AM, though, and J’s kindergarten scrapbook is one of those exceptions.
I’ve had this scrapbook since the beginning, but due to its delicate nature was too scared to catalog it…until yesterday!
I shared a few of the pieces over on Alternative Muses, but didn’t want you to miss out on this whimsical little bit of childhood history.

Today, I am feeling this painting in my bones.

Happy New Year!

It’s been raining all day. I think that is a fine way to start a new year.
Sixteen Years Ago Today…
I met The Chef.

We are still in love. Fancy that.
First Book Research Anniversary
Huge milestone!
Today is a milestone! This is a bigger deal than my first wedding anniversary because book research is trickier than marriage. I’m using today to appreciate all I’ve accomplished instead of focusing on all there is left to do.
