a dip in the water...

For the second year in a row.... I will be jumping, or plunging more like it, into the San Francisco Bay for the Special Olympics Polar Plunge Fundraiser. Having worked so closely with children who benefit from this non profit organization, how could I not participate?

Some pics from last year:

frivolities...

I chose the title for this post because owning/buying the following things makes for a very happy me, but definitely unnecessary for my survival. However, for those of you that do know me, consider this a very good guide of things to buy me. If you feel inclined.


  • a vintage floral tablecloth
  • a oil reproduction of Van Gogh's "Starry, Starry Night over the Rhone."
  • a old fashioned wrapped leather journal/notebook
  • a print of Emile Bayard's illustration of Cosette from Les Miserables
  • a book about the history of theatre in the West End
  • a book about the history of theatre on Broadway 
  • a original program from the 1985 Production of Les Miserables (Barbican Theatre)
  • a lot of Tea Pots
  • a basket for my bike
Rest assured, this list will get longer as the year progresses.

In the midst of our lives,
we must find the magic
that makes our souls soar.
