Okay, first for the quick update. Yesterday, I was on NPR/KPBS’s These Days, talking about fun goings-on in San Diego and how I love a good hair-of-the-dog on a Sunday morning. You can hear the entertaining podcast RIGHT HERE.

And holy Jesus (it is Easter weekend and all), I’m so behind on my columns! Here’s what you missed: I’m selling my place. If you want to know why, read JUST A PLACE, my emotional process of deciding to let go, at a loss. The week after that, all irritated and stressed, I got really ticked off by a drunk guy at a party. You can read about that episode in WATCH YOURSELF, BOY. Fortunately, my family lightened the mood by pulling out all the stops for April Fools Day. You can read about my mother’s clever and sadistic practices in PRANK QUEEN. And finally, my current story, BALLS IN BOWLS, is all about my experience with the stager who came to decorate our place before we put it on the market.

Next week (Thursday morning) I’m going to be on NBC San Diego News in the Morning with my usual monthly segment, Stepping Out With Barbarella. On it, I will be announcing the winner of the music contest to come up with my new theme song!!! So more soon. But I’ve got even bigger, more exciting news (for me, at least) regarding a deal I just made with NBC for my own segment on a new channel. Expect big updates in the next two weeks. For now, I’m going to drink a cocktail and continue brainstorming for all of the projects I have going on. What an emotional roller coaster. Leaving my home of almost 6 years, career changes, ups and downs, overwhelming shit, but all of it… EXCITING.
