Pin ItToday was one of those days: 10 hours of work; literally running several blocks, two trains, and up a few flights of stairs to an audition. Then I darted as fast as I could after work to Costco to pick up my contact lenses before they closed. On the train ride home all I […]

The other night I became Cruella Deville. The final minutes of my Clarke Kent job began to tick away and the pangs of hunger hit. So, I went into my faithful “monster bag” for relief.
