  • 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.

Another neighbor, another day

27 Jan 2010

I’m sitting in my office, at my desk, with my feet in red slippers and a hot beanbag on my lap. The sun is starting to fade and the breeze is seeping through my windows, making me shiver and making me think. If I wasn’t so hung up on heating and reheating this beanbag, I [...]

Happy Birthday PK!

In honor of your turning the big TWO-FOUR, here are five characters to whom you’ve been compared. But before you scroll on, know this dear sister, no matter your doppelgangers, I will always love you for who you are, you sweet, loving, pint-sized ball of joy. You are the perfect hermana and a credit to [...]

Make your french fries go the extra mile

21 Jan 2010

Here are the things I’m no good at as far the environment goes: I leave the faucet running for too long when I’m brushing my teeth. Likewise, I rarely turn the shower off when I’m shaving my legs. Although I cut down significantly on gasoline consumption by moving my office into my home, I still [...]

In the meantime

… if you want to read the stuff I write for a living. This story came out today. And this one made me happy. It came out before Christmas with the photo of the young saxophonist below. Both photos are mine. These two guys should hold you over for about five minutes. You see how [...]

A little hiatus

05 Jan 2010

Hey there. A couple things. I got an email recently from a Lance reader urging me to stop procrastinating and write a novel. She lives in my hometown. We went to high school together, played soccer together and last year reconnected via Facebook. Come to think of it, she urged me to stop procrastinating and [...]

Seeing my breath makes me feel alive.

04 Jan 2010

It’s 35 degrees out and eerily beautiful in St. Petersburg, Fla. I walked the pug twice today, exhaling hot breaths slowly and deliberately, staring at the way it hung in front of my nose and floated away. A ghostly cloud of carbon dioxide. It was as if I’d never seen my breath before. I wore [...]
