Reclamation of Roses

Get onto the mailing list now so you’re ready for the 90s style ‘year-in-review’ letter that I’ll be sending for 2025. Miss you love you hope you’re all excellent and excelling!

So maybe this will be the hip place to be again.

We bought a house this year and got to decorate for our first major holiday! We only had a few trick or treaters, but no bother, more candy for me!

I forgot I still had this. I'm alive. I miss this community a lot.

Hamming it up while the #jaguars finished off the #patriots on Sunday. What a game! Here's to many more gamedays with this one 😍 #football #sportsball #duuuval #jacksonville #gameday #livingthedream (at TIAA Bank Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4RdXEB2xJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kc3aq5eh9bhx

Last night on the way home we came across this little guy, wandering the middle of Murray Drive near Post street. He's blind and toothless, but he's out of harm's way; if you could share this for me to see if we could find the owner, I'd be very appreciative. He gets along fine with my dogs, and I've got enough food to watch out for him, so I'll take care of him until I can get to the vet to check for a chip. #lost #lostdog #dogs #dog #jacksonville #murrayhill #murrayhilljax #riverside (at Murray Hill Historic District)

My #mcm is a guy who makes me smile and always laughs at my jokes before he rolls his eyes. Can't ask for much more than that. #lifeisgood #newchapters #dadjokes (at Aardwolf Brewery)

Getting to #perform again has been such a treat, and singing onstage with such talented people is really an honor. There's still a few seats left for tonight's show, but tomorrow is sold out! #life #theatre #cabaret #allthatjazz #purple (at The 5 & Dime, A Theatre Company)

Happy Mother's Day to my mother and sister (@darseno4 and @arsenobec)! For everyone's enjoyment, here's an old picture that hasn't made it to the internet yet :) #mothersday #happymothersday #family #mom #sister #theyregoingtokillme

Very excited and honored to announce that I'll be performing with an amazing cast of vocalists in the 5 & Dime Theatre's upcoming Jazz Cabaret! I'm looking forward to being onstage again after a long hiatus, and I hope everyone gets the chance to listen to some of the amazing talent the First Coast has to offer. Get your tickets soon, because they won't last long! #theatre #cabaret #ilovejax #moreartculture #downtown #theater #downtownjax #stagelife #jacksonville (at The 5 & Dime, A Theatre Company)

#tbt to catching up with @chrisdvs50 over cocktails, upstairs at the Esquire while in town for the NCAA Men's Final Four. Check out the speakeasy downstairs for a truly unique experience in downtown #SanAntonio. #neverupstairs #friends #life #selfie #newchapters (at The Esquire Tavern)

Here's to the smart, funny, sarcastic, talented, and mother to my adorable nephew that I have in my little sis. We may rarely if ever get along, but I know we've got each others' backs. In honor of #nationalsiblingday, here's a hair history from @arsenobec and I, though I imagine it's a little more embarrassing for me than for her. #siblings #sister #partnerincrime

The birds have less to say for themselves / In the wood-world’s torn despair / Than now these numberless years the elves, / Although they are no less there: / All song of the woods is crushed like some / Wild, easily shattered rose. / Come, be my love in the wet woods; come, / Where the boughs rain when it blows. -A Line-storm Song, Robert Frost #northcarolina #nantahala #poetry #robertfrost #winter (at Fontana Dam)
