#TBT I call this one Underage Drinking Raconteur
This was at some cast party in college. And I don’t know where the rest of the picture is. The party was held at my house, which I shared with two other people, a big sprawling place, perfect for hordes … Continue reading
#TBT a relic
My friend Phil unearthed this relic and sent it to me. I gasped when I saw it. I didn’t even remember doing this but there’s so much in it, an entire time and place and era … in the moment … Continue reading
#tbt Gen-X avatars
These pictures just emerged from the deep, shared by Mitchell. I have never seen them before. It’s such a time capsule. 1990s, obviously, I mean, look at our clothes, the flannel, etc. I still dress like this, so nothing has … Continue reading
#TBT Glasses up!
Jen and I, headed out to a horror film festival held on Halloween night at the Millennium Film Workshop on East 4th Street. I believe our glasses were our costumes. It was a bitch getting there, I remember, because of … Continue reading

#TBT Red Rocks
Me at Arches National Park. The next day my boyfriend and I rode mountain bikes on the slick red rocks at Moab. I wrote about it here … 15 years ago. WTF. I don’t know what I was thinking, mountain-biking … Continue reading
#TBT Merry Pranksters in Milwaukee
From left to right: Ann Marie, Me, Pat McCurdy, Phil, Kenny To this day, this was one of the funnest experiences in my whole entire life, and maybe THE most because it was a once in a lifetime thing, never … Continue reading
#TBT Sweet Home Chicago
I hadn’t seen this picture before. I’m staring at it, agog. It captures such a huge moment. This was taken the morning I left Chicago, packing up my car (and my cat Sammy) to drive back East to go to … Continue reading
