Hello, friends. I hope this message finds you well as summer turns into autumn. I’m crushed to share the news that last Wednesday we put Boris to sleep. Many of you know that Boris was suffering from neurological degeneration in his spine, so that walking and other activities were becoming increasingly difficult. But he was still very interested in being outside, interacting with us, and eating all of his food and his beloved treats (especially the cheese that looks like caramel but smells like feet). He was still very much Boris. So it was extremely hard for us to decide…

Although my family engages rarely in social media, sometimes I use this space to honor my nearest and dearest. Today, just because, attention must be paid to Paul and Boris. Enjoy!

Best wishes to all in 2015.  Since we closed the Dorothy Vaughan show in November, my theatre activities have been on the back burner, where they are percolating nicely. Unfortunately, the bulk of my family’s energy right now is being spent caring for my mother, who has a serious illness and requires a lot of help.  So this is a time of privacy and introspection, but there remain moments of joy.  May you, too, find light in the darkness of this season.
