David and I celebrated Jewish Christmas yesterday with my in-laws; we went to a movie and then drove around looking for a Chinese restaurant that was open. Actually, we never did, but a sports bar was open, so that's where we ended up eating. The movie was "The Good Shepherd," which was extremely layered and nuanced. You really had to pay attention to details, and the foreshadowing was there for the ending, but it was so subtle that when I pointed it out to my husband David, he was amazed. Matt Damon's performance as CIA man Edward Wilson was masterful;…

At Axis of Episcopal Split, an Anti-Gay Nigerian In case anyone is missing the point about the coming schism in the Episcopal Church, currently it's about homosexuality and biblical inerrancy. 40 years ago, it was about women's ordination and bibilical inerrancy. 20 years before that, it was about civil rights and biblical inerrancy. 100 years before that, it was slavery… and biblical inerrancy. Really, it's always something about biblical inerrancy, but that's not sexy enough. [tags]Episcopal[/tags]

Many in the Falls…

mediatinker.com The other day I was listening to an interview with an author on NPR when a call-in comment made me stop and think. This caller, John from Chicago, explained the powerful creative tool he learned from doing improv comedy. "Yes! And…" Whoa. Two words that affirm and springboard to more ideas. How simple. I can see that these two words will create a spark in my creative projects – and in my business and personal life, too. Let's all say it together (good and loud now): "Yes! And…" Aha!! My brother-in-law Mitch will recognize this, as he's taken improv…

In November of 1993, I visited Japan for 2 weeks. It was a big adventure; my friend Debbie was living in Nagoya then and the original plan was that we’d take off for a few days together and then I’d be on my own. The plan changed when Debbie had a family emergency, and she left me in the hands of some friends of hers. I spent a lot of time at first getting used to living in a Japanese apartment, exploring Nagoya via subway, and watching a lot of Japanese TV. Then after a few days of culture shock…
