It finally feels like Fall here in Seattle.  We had an amazing summer and lovely Indian summer, but the temperatures are finally dropping a bit, and the rain has come.  Days are shorter, and that autumn smell is in the…

Busy, busy, busy! I can't believe that it's nearly June.  How does the time fly by so damn fast any more? Beats me. After a fabulous run of "Ham for the Holidays" last December at our new home at ACT,…

Just got back from a great 2 weeks on Olivia's 40th anniversary cruises.  Got to laugh, sing, and jam with my funny and talented pals.  Highlight:  meeting tennis great Billie Jean King, whoo hoo!  Getting all the performers, staff and…
