  • 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.

Amen to that.

Florence + The Machine said it best. Dog Days Are Over can mean so many things to so many people. But to me it means summer is over. Phew.

Running, returning

26 Sep 2010

I woke up this morning at 7 a.m. 7 a.m. on a Sunday! WTF? I feel like my Nana. Actually, if I were my Nana, I’d have slept in like a bear this morning. Nana rises at 5 a.m. Maybe it’s because I ran a practice triathlon yesterday. And by practice triathlon, I mean I [...]

A guest post on what else? Writing of course.

Check out my guest post on Rosey Rebecca: I write, therefore I am. Rebecca is a healthy living blogger, a journalism student at the University at Albany, and an all-around hard worker with an incredible amount of promise, talent and poise. Rebecca dropped me an email last December, revealing that she stumbled upon my blog [...]

Popsicle stick wisdom

Joe loves Dove ice cream bars. Under the chocolate ice cream, there’s always a quote from some Joe Schmo from some town in the United States. This one comes from Flora in Milan, Ill., which is an hour and half away north of where my friend Ricci grew up. I thought I’d share. It’s sage [...]

Best. Mag. Ever.

Say hello to Jane. If you’ve not met, let me properly introduce you: Jane was the BEST magazine ever. This issue –– the PREMIERE issue –– was (and still is) my favorite issue of any magazine ever. Jane is why I became a journalist. Jane and Mark Twain and a couple of other things. But [...]

The jam session.

12 Sep 2010

Mothership drew this cartoon of me, Joe and the pug on the back of an envelope a couple years ago. Let’s call it The Jam Session. Those of you who know Joe, know he loves to jam. He’s awesome at it. He even has this little jam face. All good guitar players have one and [...]

Hello Lance lovers, You lovable, quirky lot. It needs to be said that I write 50 percent for me and 50 percent for you. If it weren’t for you, I’d be a proper lady, a reserved lady. Actually, I’d be a Luddite, blissfully unaware of social media and the stronghold it has on everyone’s lives. [...]

The motorcycle diaries

07 Sep 2010

My friend Dex asked me to shoot some photos for his modeling portfolio. So at 9 a.m. on a balmy August morning, we hit up my favorite alley in downtown Sarasota. When we’d had our fill of alley shots, I suggested we head to a quiet spot on the downtown bay front. I picked Centennial [...]

Eternal sunshine of the spotless unwind

Matrimony didn’t physically change my life. Joe and I had lived together for almost two years before we got married. Before he’d even proposed, we had purchased a house together and vacationed alone together. From the day we first cohabited I began packing him a tuna fish sandwich every morning before work and in return [...]
