  • Books for Bumpus.

    September 25, 2009

    • Hm - what's a really, really gripping first sentence I can write here to get you to read the rest? "Sweat-thirsty vampire swine ravages day-spa!" Maybe? This is a two-part good-deed-doer. How can you say no? Buy Homefront (by clicking on the link below) and 100% of the proceeds will go toward helping Harley-Davidson send care packages to deployed troops. (Wha…? Motorcycles and ...

  • People are BEAUTIFUL

    April 21, 2009

    • This auction I'm holding to benefit Soldiers' Angels (.org) is going better than I ever could have expected. A few people have already committed to donating items that are either no longer of worth to them, or are of SO much worth to them but that they feel giving them would symbolize how much they want to give for troops who do what they do when they're deployed. For example: one donor has ...

  • Passports with a Purpose

    December 1, 2008

    • Passports with a PurposeNo matter how light we pack, we almost always carry our privilege with us.  Our simple presence in a foreign land is a clear sign that we have the means to get there, and, as often is the case, when we carry camera equipment and backpacks worth hundreds of American dollars, that message is doubled.  I struggle with this often -- how do I respectfully witness and ...
  • Prop. 8 & You: a word from Angie with a special kind of offer

    October 30, 2008

    • Dear Readers (and now I know you are out there), I am posting an email Angie sent out today. Angie is my lawfully wedded spouse (at least until Tuesday) and the love of my life (for always). Push is coming to shove about Prop. 8: the yessers have been caught blackmailing businesses, lying, and shouting hate speech at gay men and lesbians. This is no longer “only” a civil rights issue; it is ...

Most cell phone companies have a donation ...
  • Bah: More theaters need internet connection.

    March 6, 2008

    • I thought it would be fun to blog from the stage. I'm in the BOA Festival's show for the next two weeks in A Toss of The Hat written by Mike Ricca and produced by my company.It is also directed by my husband Hans Summers. Yeah. Shut it. He cast his wife in the show. Nepotism sometimes rocks. But, we are both good people and I'm not in the lead. I personally have no need whatsoever to be the ...
