  • 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 isn’t me.

31 May 2008

Good morning! If I could be anything other than a reporter this is what I would be: + a concert pianist + a race car driver + a stunt double + a novelist + a veterinarian in a small town in Upstate NY + a rafting guide on the Tugaloo River in South Carolina + [...]

The kindness of people I barely know.

25 May 2008

I lost my debit card last week on St. Pete Beach at about 2 a.m. Saturday. Assuming the card was gone forever and if found would result in $500 in Big Gulp and Marlboro purchases at 7-Eleven, I canceled it the next morning. However, when on Monday morning I got to work in Sarasota and [...]

Me and Sophia Petrillo would rock this too.

24 May 2008

Balls. I’ve been told I can’t post about “Lost.” As much as I want to rip into the show, Joe has informed me that in order to give an accurate critique of the tangent-tastic, scuzz opera I have to rent all the seasons on DVD. Apparently watching only 10 episodes doesn’t cut it for Siskel [...]

Towelie takes the plunge

19 May 2008

This was Joe’s Florida State beach towel that he had for 10 years.To call this towel a beach towel would be like calling Jonah Hill Chris Farley.No longer used for drying up after a shower, I think Joe used Towelie to slough off dead skin cells. (The fabric was the consistency of 80-grit sandpaper and couldn’t [...]

Meet Gaven.

17 May 2008

This is my landlord, Russell’s grandson Gaven. I set out to write a particular story for my Lance this morning, but as I was sitting on the balcony with the laptop, Kid popped out of the house and started shooting the bull. (Joe and I live in an above-garage apartment. Our balcony faces the landlord’s [...]

Pooh Bear go home

14 May 2008

It’s 12:03 a.m. and I’m sitting in the dark under a blanket on my couch. I can’t sleep. The thought of this lost Bichon Frise in my neighborhood has been killing me for weeks.Where is this dog?Did someone steal him/her?Was he/she killed by a passing car?Did he/she run away with a maverick beagle in town?Is [...]

Feed me.

03 May 2008

I just ate half of this monstrosity courtesy of The Kitchen in St. Pete. Here it lies in my stomach.

Existential scavenger hunting

03 May 2008

Distractions are everywhere. I woke up this morning first at 7:30 and then at 8:30. At 8:30 I shuffled to the kitchen. Made coffee. Made toast. Sat on the couch and opened this page. Two and half hours later I’ve accomplished nothing. Nothing. I blame MySpace, Facebook and random news stories about Broncos players diagnosed [...]

Battery acid dreams

01 May 2008

I took this picture at 8 a.m. this morning while I made a few phone calls before work. Joe perked up, saw the photo and said: “I sense a blog post coming on. Something that goes: ‘These are the men in my life sleeping while I do work. I hate them both. Seeing them like [...]
