  • 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.

Squinters for Obama!

30 Oct 2008

I should have gotten a press pass …  Attending Barack Obama’s rally today in Sarasota hadn’t occurred to me, until I was held up at University Parkway and U.S. 41 as Obama’s motorcade passed.  For the hell of it, I turned toward my buddy Roger’s favorite Ed Smith Stadium, and walked one mile to the field, where I [...]

Dummy watches figure by drinking Mich Ultra

12 Oct 2008

Go Rays! This is the uber bizarro Rays dummy sitting on the porch four houses down from my apartment. However, I should point out that Joe and I no longer live at our apartment in Old Northeast as we relocated 20 blocks north to a home we bought two weeks ago on 2nd Street across [...]

Grandpa Ra

02 Oct 2008

I stayed with Joe’s grandpa a few weeks ago. I started this post while we watched a baseball game on the couch: Joe’s Grandpa Ra (his mother’s father) has lived with Joe’s parents since 1985. When the Bardi family moved to Tampa in 1989, Grandpa Ra moved into a garage-converted apartment separated by two doors [...]
