Another professional first
Another professional first – helping a client find a baby snake who escaped her enclosure. Who, fortunately, turned out to just be sleeping in a very hidden spot and not escaped at all. YAY!!!
Read MoreVictor Gruen – NOT a J. Gordon Lippincott
Who, you ask, is Victor Gruen – NOT a J. Gordon Lippincott? In the commercialized cacophony that is the “Holiday Season” leading up to Christmas and Hanukkah, I felt compelled to learn more about the inventor of the modern shopping mall. And it was my sheer dumb luck that the Austrian Embassy in Washington…

OHMIUNIVERSE. A play for me and my peeps. And our neighbors, our clients, our friends and families. If I was back home in my NYC, I might be trying to be in the seats every night. Roundabout Theatre Company Danny DeVito I Need That
Read MoreChristmas in August sorta
In 2018, I posted about feeding Christmas trees to goats, which is now my favorite way EVER of disposing of Christmas trees. And now I get to urge people to dispose of landscape trimmings by bringing them to PAWS Wildlife Center, a rehabilitation agency currently in Lynnwood and moving to Snohomish as soon as construction…

I felt SOOOOO old and it was so much fun, and wonderful.

Never did anything like that before. I got the third from the middle…

(quoted from the team’s website home page.).” I know you’re gonna ask “WHY?????” Easy – Brittney Miller, the team’s founder – so doesn’t that…
Read MoreDave Pelham – The Step-by-Step Route to Creative Photography – Playful Creative Summit 2020
I own a camera. An intimidating camera. Lots of buttons. None of the buttons are permanently dedicated to one function. It’s a camera designed for an octopus who might want to grip the machine in different ways at different times and then the creature’d need redundant or reprogrammed buttons all over the place. I’m quite…

There was a 2020 Playful Creative Summit. I’m savoring all of those recordings just as I prized the 2022 offerings. A client cancelled. Despite aquamarine skies, it’s cold and I want to hide under blankets with a hot chocolate. Perfect for catching a bunch. So I’m going to post my impressions, a haphazard few at…
