First Time Home

Did I ever tell you about my brother John? He’s a piano player in Chicago and has an amazing repertoire of thousands of songs. When my daughter Tessa was born, I found this song in my mailbox (before the days of mp3s!)

If you know me, you already know that I’m not athletic. And my husband hates organized sports. Yet, I have two talented, athletic daughters. I couldn’t wait to have kids, and I couldn’t wait to be at their concerts. I always had the dream that we’d do theater together. I’d be [...]
