I blinked and suddenly it's been a year since I posted an update here. That's what I get for blinking, I suppose. Little has changed since my last update, even down to the usual late-October flailing. But this year, I've come to realize that what causes me to feel so off-kilter this time of year … Continue reading Pandemic years don’t count, right?

Because why the heck not?
It's been a busy few months since my last update, which is nice to be able to report. The most notable thing is that my spouse and I are fortunate enough to be fully inoculated, and we've tentatively started spending time with other vaccinated folks, including friends, nearby family, and music ensembles! It feels like … Continue reading Because why the heck not?
At least we still have the butt jokes.
Merry December to all who are still observing the passage of time, happy solstice to those looking forward to shorter nights, welcome Yule, merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a joyful Great Conjunction (photo credit: the wonderful Dana Wayne)! It's been awesome to watch Jupiter and Saturn draw closer to one another over the past weeks. … Continue reading At least we still have the butt jokes.

Don't the combined choirs sound amazing?? And isn't Colin's music gorgeous?? I am filled with joy and squee and excitement! I think Colin and I … Continue reading Eeee! Now with video!
Adventures in Quantum Fiction
It's been a busy final quarter of 2015, during which I have finished writing no less than three stories and had the great pleasure of singing in the chorus of Bizet's Carmen by the Pacific Lyric Opera. I'll also be singing Berlioz's Te Deum with the San Diego Symphony and caroling like a champ, because Christmas music is … Continue reading Adventures in Quantum Fiction
February 7: Little Bits
A run-through is a satisfying thing; To hear where your part fits within the whole, And learn the proper place to stand and sing, And feel as though all share common goal. But when the final notes have dissipated, There's hardy time to celebrate success; Our egos will be presently deflated, As little bits of … Continue reading February 7: Little Bits
