Five years ago, I was new in Portland, and I met a guy for a beer. Not to sound like a ridiculous cheesy cheeseball, but I was in a new city, I had just gotten a job, I had just moved into my own apartment and it felt like the world was full of possibility. [...]
Skiing Mt Hood
January 22, 2013 By 8 Comments
I have lived in Oregon for five years, as of yesterday. In that amount of time, I had not gone skiing. In the beginning, it was because I didn’t have the greatest health insurance, and if I broke something, it would be stupid. Later, I realized I was just getting older, and my need for [...]
One Year Ago Today…
December 26, 2012 By 2 Comments
So one year ago today, Dave and I learned we were going to have twins. It was maybe the most monumental, shocking, earth shattering, terrifying and thrilling day I have ever had in my life. It took weeks, maybe months, for us to fully comprehend how much our lives were going to change. But a [...]
Nursery Preparations

We have a room in our apartment we have been calling “the boys’ room.” In the beginning, it was a free-for-all room for us to throw junk into. Then, it became Dave’s early morning changing room, so that he could get ready for work. And more importantly, he could make as big a mess as [...]
“You’re A Nervous Talker, Aren’t You?”

About, oh, say, exactly four years ago today I met Dave. On Valentine’s Day. I told you, I’ll never shut up with this story. Shortly after our first meeting, I wanted to drive to the Oregon coast for the first time. I was planning to go by myself, but Dave invited himself along. He didn’t [...]

This is the draft I used to have my story in my brain for Mike Vogel’s screening of Did You Kiss Anyone on Tuesday. The draft below was way more material than I could have used, and predictably, I forgot a lot of it. I regret I missed some of the points I wanted to [...]

Four Years Ago

Four years ago today, it was snowing as I drove north through Redding, California. I was driving up I-5, the spine of the west coast, on my way from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon. I had a kitty in the passenger seat, and a car stuffed with boxes of clothes, camping gear, books and whatever [...]

It’s getting to be that time. That’s me, a few year ago. Just a few. I have a few more of these childhood Christmas photos up over on Ye Christmases of Olde. I’d still be pretty excited to get Legos for Christmas.
Writing Alleged Fictions
October 28, 2011 By 4 Comments
A long time ago, I took a couple of screen writing classes. I took the first class over the summer with a bunch of super smart, advanced placement high school kids. These kids came from all over the country to spend the summer in Boston and take classes at Harvard University. I walked into that [...]
