  • Why Lance?

    Because the word blog sounds like something that comes out of a person's nose. This blog is named after my old friend Sarah's manifestation of a dreamy Wyoming cowboy named Lance.
  • About me

    I'm a journalist who spends my Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories, a chronic procrastinator who needs structure. I once quit my job to write a book and like most writers, I made up excuses why I couldn't keep at it.

    My boyfriend fiancé husband Joe (and new baby Henry) like to sleep in late on the weekends, which means I end up browsing celebrity tabloid websites while our dog snores under the covers.

    I created Lance to better spend that time. I thought maybe it would jump start a second attempt at writing a novel.

    I'm itching to get The Move On, as my dad likes to say. I'm 26 27 28 29 and I'm afraid if I don't start now, I'll get caught up in something else.

    We all do.

This pig keychain was a gift from Joe’s sister, Rosey. It lights up and oinks. But its oink sounds less, “Oink” and more “Quarr.”  Quarr. One, I love pigs. Two, I love pugs* and they’re not much different than pigs.  Three, I want a Pigasus tattoo to mimic the way Steinbeck used to “sign” his [...]

Dies ist Opa

27 Apr 2008

We’re visiting Oma & Opa in a few hours, so in their honor, I will tell one staple story from the Opa Vault: When my Opa was a kid (during and after) World War II he used to run around his hometown of Hildesheim, Germany thinking of ways to make money for his family. During [...]

A-Maizing what we’ll do for coffee and heat

26 Apr 2008

So here we are. Joe asleep. Me awake. We’re on dog-sitting duty at my friend Roger’s house in Sarasota this weekend. And as anyone whose ever babysat, dog sat or house sat knows, staying at someone else’s house can be troubling because you are beholden to their gadgetry (ie: TV with rabbit ears, microwave you [...]

Dreamy for broken-down ferris wheels.

24 Apr 2008

Hi. I’m getting ready for bed, which is ironic given I’m starting this thing to devote my clear-headed awakened-ness to writing again in the wee morning hours before Joe wakes up. (9 a.m. – 11 a.m.) And though this is a weekend blog and not a Thursday night blog, tonight is a test. Tonight I [...]
