Last night, Scott and I stepped off the streets of Cleveland into an alien world. I can’t do it justice, but what looked a little like Bowser’s Super Mario World Castle from the outside, on the inside was like walking through a series of gigantic balloons. If you were down…
It’s a tall order to combine broad laughs, social commentary, and a melancholy, intimate, character-driven story. But Good People – currently onstage at Cleveland Play House’s Allen Theatre through April 14 – succeeds with a subtle mastery. When I was invited to attend Good People’s opening night last week, I was greeted by a “Welcome to South Boston” mural overlooking the back…
Giveaway Reminder: You have until Monday, March 25 at 11:59pm to enter my Market at the Foodbank giveaway. I should be packing right now for our drive to Fabletown and Beyond. Scott and I have an 11-hour car ride ahead of us today and we should get an early start. But while I was…

As a kid, I loved attacking anything I could with markers, paint and colored pencils. Still today, it’s an easy way to lift my spirits. That’s why I get excited this time each year for Jump Back Ball Shop Nights. I realize, though, I’m a little very weird. So if harnessing your inner Michelangelo isn’t your…
This weekend was spent loading new furniture into our house. After more than a few speedbumps (like half our couch arriving in the wrong shape and color), I was clamoring to escape for a couple hours. SPANK!
