Poor Jen. She was an artist while in college, but gave up after school and got a communications job at a non-profit. Which then hit hard times and laid her off. Now she’s at a new foundation started by Leora Infinitas (that’s not a typo on my part), a former sitcom star who achieved her wealth by marrying old money. Literally, her husband was old. And then he died and ... Read More...
Arrivederci for Now
Happy Friday, readers! No review today because by noon I will be aboard a plane heading to Italy. Yes, the long awaited family vacation has arrived! For the next seven days I’ll be traipsing around Florence, Cortona, and Siena. Probably even seeing gorgeous landscapes like the one above. What a lucky lady I am.

It’s hard to say just how much it means, but ... Read More...
How to Set a Fire and Why
You may be wondering why I am giving you this account. Well, I don’t know really. A bunch of things happened and I’m just putting them in order. I’m doing it for myself. You are just a construction—you’re helping me to put things in order. You are my fictional audience and as such, I appreciate you very much. I figure when I finish, I will throw this out.
