Kittens for Kamala! I adopted 2

My rescue kitten, adopted from Friends with Paws in Scranton pa! Making me an honorary “ childless cat lady” with two daughters who defy J.d.s heartless and dumb remarks ! This may cost them the election. I hope so!


I’m caught up in Biden crisis! Concerned that Nancy Pelosi went on tv without makeup. This must be very serious backstage!


I told myself to stop searching and for a long time, I did. Then the seductive DNA tests arrived and I spit in a vial and soon I was down in Montgomery Alabama to unravel the mystery...and be stunned by what I learned


...and I searched for him, this mysterious aviator, Larry, whose hair was "so blond it looked white in the sun" but the more I searched, the more his image faded, like the photo my mother gave me, which I discovered was not of him


...My father was supposedly a war hero, flying missions overseas, but there was no war, and he could not have really had a dog as his co-pilot...My mother gave me a mythical Dad


This is Father season- greeting cards featuring pipes fishing rods and leather arm chairs abound, and "Dads'" are being celebrated. However there are many who are fatherless, some like me, from birth. My memoir Sleeping Arrangements starts "I began my life waiting for him..."


Publishing so many stories lately and lots of play production- here and in Europe!

On a roll-- my very apocalyptic short story published today! pacificareview.com/2024/05/14/sav…


My play for six women -Beautiful Bodies- is popping up all over Europe this Spring! and also in New York City...this is definitely the little play that would not die

I’m watching Israel news with trepidation… I am anti terrorist Hamas but wish Israel could see their way to providing fuel and generators to hospitals in Gaza. Innocent patients, half are children, need help and it would show humanitarian impulses of Israelis


Fascinating background of Tony Blinken- who always appealed to me as empathetic and has proven to be so today in Israel, speaking the victims of Hamas. Look this ancestry! ukrainianjewishencounter.org/en/yiddish-and…


I'm startled and scared that the company performing the Ukrainian national tour of my play Beautiful Bodies aka Devichnik (among other names) has had so many close calls. You could hear shelling at the curtain call last night in Lviv. They are brave to continue, and I'm amazed


Having wondered about my unknown father all my life, I received an amazing gift from his family just in time for Father's Day- a treasure chest of photos and his records. This helps me so much! Now I can somewhat understand why my mother loved him so much and named me after him.
