Pack 493 is down four paws. It’s been 39 hours since we got the worst news of our lives, and I’m still vacillating between numbing shock and utter devastation. I’ll write more eventually, but, for now, here is my original eulogy to share with her many Facebook fans. — She was a good girl. A…

I want to talk about this book, but also feel like it’s not my story to tell. I want to talk about how I needed a light read, but this was overdue from the library and my heart sank when I realized it was by the author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I…

Despite being December 30, this is not a New Year’s Resolution post. I decided this fall that I needed a theatre break. Even though I was doing the most delightful show, all I wanted to do cook and clean and exercise and snuggle the corgimutts. ….and if you had told any version of Ann pre-2012…

First of all: NOT MINE. Now that we have that out of the way…. I’ve been meaning for months to write about An Uncommon Family. Stephen and I met doing La Cage at Theatre Alliance, and a few months later were both in their White Christmas. A few months after that, I asked him to…

While every holiday is special in its own way, Thanksgiving 2017 was particularly Ann-appropriate. And I cooked the turkey! My employer graciously distributes frozen turkeys to its workers each year, so rather than just bring it for my father-in-law, as done before, I decided to take responsibility. A brine seemed the easiest way to go…

Saturday night, my husband has a plan for breakfast. Using up things that should be taken care of before we head out of town for Thanksgiving. Then morning comes. And after I get up to walk the dogs (even though Louisa will always let me sleep and only chooses to wake Hampton with a face…

Once upon a time, I was So Super Excited when the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem announced NOISES OFF on their schedule. In case you’re not aware, NOISES OFF is one of the most perfect shows ever written, a true ensemble comedy, and one of the most successful stage-to-film adaptations ever. Even better: at this point…
