TYOLD Day 81: I Finally Have a Cronut
Dusted with sugar, topped with chocolate, filled with vanilla custard cream. I approve.
TYOLD Day 80: Everywhere I Have Ever Worked
I was talking to someone the other day and they were saying that in their life they have only had a few jobs. I, on the other hand, have had about a billion. Okay, that's an exaggeration but I have had a lot of jobs. So today, for the first time, I am documenting...
TYOLD Day 79: Knock Knock
I was browsing around the interwebs the other day and came across an interview with Tina Fey where they asked her a bunch of "funniest..." questions. What is the funniest movie ever made? What is the funniest word? Funniest person alive? (Caddyshack, kumquat,...
TYOLD Day 78: And Don’t Call Me Shirley
I hate flying, but only partially because of my paralyzing fear of heights and plane crashes and overly cheery flight attendants in no-wrinkle drip-dry. Mostly it's because I hate the process of having to get to the airplane. Completely lacking in anything even...
TYOLD Day 77: Park-ing It
Another tremendously fun evening at the PaleyFest, this time for "Parks & Recreation," which is by far my favorite comedy on TV right now. We got to watch this week's episode, which is typically terrific. Best line: "5 second rule!" Trust me. Then the panel with...
TYOLD Day 76: Shaking It Up
Many years ago I made a half-assed effort to create an earthquake kit. The timing is a little hazy, but I think it was not long after the Northridge quake when I had moved into my new apartment and felt like maybe having some supplies ready for when it happened again...
TYOLD Day 75: Getting Lost
Today it was back to PaleyFest for another one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Lost, which is celebrating the 10th anniversary of it's debut this year. It started with a screening of an episode, Exodus Part 1, from the end of the first season. It was a great...
TYOLD Day 74: Anger (but not in a bad way)
If you decided to look for it, there was a theme to my Differentlies tonight. First, my friend Maureen and I went to eat at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant at The London Hotel in West Hollywood. You know Gordon Ramsay, he's that really angry guy that yells a lot at people...
TYOLD Day 73: Tire-d
As I left the Veronica Mars panel at PaleyFest last night, I noticed a nail in my tire. This sucks on a great number of levels, not the least of which is the fact that I am entirely incapable of changing a tire anymore. I know how to do it, but I have free roadside...
TYOLD Day 72: Neptune High
I let my inner geek fly high tonight with my first ever visit to a PaleyFest panel - this one for one of my all time favorite shows, Veronica Mars! For those who don't know, PaleyFest is an annual event put on by the Paley Center for Media where they bring together...

The Year of Living With Cancer
In 2012, I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. To help myself cope with it, I wrote about it. A lot. And yes, the picture of Angela and Jordan will make sense at some point if you read enough.
The Year of Living Differently
After cancer, I decided to try to mix things up and do something different every single day for a year. Did I make it?
50 for 50 by 50
To celebrate, or perhaps to distract myself from, my impending 50th birthday in 2016, I embarked on a project to give $50 to 50 different charities by the time I turned 50.
