I write about my stressed, workaholic, self-effacing, overcommitted, coffee-fueled life. In 2020, my story in Narratively was one of the top three most read stories in 2020 and editor’s pick. I received a 2012 National Society of Newspaper Columnists award for www.schmeightschmatchers.com, a 2011 Memoir award from Writers Artists Collaborative, and three awards from  Humorpress.com’s “America’s Funniest Humor”™ Showcase.  My essay “Senseless in Seattle” appears in How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel and Other Misadventures Traveling With Kids, edited by Sarah Franklin in 2008.
