“Why does a catastrophe always follow you?” my husband asked, as he smoothed my hair and handed me a Kleenex. Yet again, Alison the Great made a hot mess of a situation. I don’t know why I do, and I wish I didn’t. Yesterday, my husband was hired to photograph a friends’ daughter’s birthday party.… Continue Reading A Typical Saturday
When we decided to attend Forecastle last year instead of Bonnaroo, I thought it would be a one-time thing. My Morning Jacket was curating and headlining the event, we were ready for a change, and I hadn’t been to Louisville since college for a trade show. But we went, and we fell in love. A… Continue Reading Forecastle Fashion: What I am Thinking of Packing
Nope, no baby and no more pets. But we did get a new dining table! Let me give you a bit of history. When my sister and I got our first post-college apartment together, we went to IKEA to outfit the whole pad. For our dining table, I got a round oak pedestal table and… Continue Reading New Addition to the Family!

I don’t mean dodge ball or drinking, but books and music and movies and other media. Ways to shut down the hyper chatter in the brain and fill that… Continue Reading What My Brain Has Been Absorbing
Friday night Karl and I went to bed before the sun set. My body woke me at 6am, I got up, brushed my teeth, stretched some… and then went back to bed until Emerson came in to wake us around 7:30. We got up, Karl went off to teach and Emerson and I had our… Continue Reading Weekend Update Jun 05, 2013
It’s been a tough few weeks. I don’t know if the torn calf muscle caused it, or if it was the straw that broke this camel’s back. I feel like such a heel bitching about my leg. Heck, I still have my leg, and it will heal. People deal with far worse pain and inconvenience… Continue Reading Low
Father John Misty and my bum leg. Last photo courtesy The Washington Post. Video from the show at The 9:30 Club performance, not too far from my vantage point. Drama aside, Father John Misty puts on an amazing show. His voice is just as good as on the album, but he’s more sarcastic and snarky… Continue Reading Concert Review: Father John Misty
