Why Blog?
When I decided to create an archive of my work, I assumed that I would also include a blog. Hey, it’s the 21st century, and the only way anybody knows what he or she thinks these days is by typing it and sending it out over the internet! But what’s the difference between a blog and a diary of self-indulgent musings better left under lock and key in a bedside table — the kind of stuff you read a year later and go “Ewww!”? I don’t want to write about the thing I know best — theater — because I do that all day at work. My darling husband says I should think of the blog as my personal editorial page, and lord knows I’ve got strong opinions about just about everything. But I am also interested in the whole idea of midlife/empty nest/what the hell do I do now that I don’t have to take care of kids? I have more energy and drive than I did 10 or even 20 years ago — how should I use it? The outer package is getting old, and “old” is a no-no in New York City. But inside? I’m ready to do something big.
