My Novel

It is 10:04 in Reno a Tuesday,
my hair is still wet and my nose is
still wet and my throat is dry,
and I'm here to soak up the
pools of knowledge and to stir
up the stagnant books with
missing pages and missing ideas
I haven't written yet but there is
time, I tell myself, and tremble
at the speed, the
momentum,
the inertia of it all because
it is 10:08 in Reno a Tuesday
and even the clock is
advancing.

Back when “A Room of One's Own” was first delivered to a rare and privileged group of university girls, Virginia Woolf’s advice – that a woman wishing to write fiction should earn 500 pounds a year and have her own writing room – was attainable, but certainly not common. Today, it is unusual to find an aspiring female writer without these necessities. Today, on the contrary, if a woman possesses talent, ambition and other outstanding qualities, poverty is not the trap that will keep her fro... read more

This week, training is is sucky. I'm frustrated and pouty. Every workout I get slower and weaker, after my workouts I'm sick, and frankly it's humilitating. I completely BLEW UP during the run practice this week. Got about 1.5mi in and detonated - couldn't breathe, couldn't see, certainly couldn't run.

I'm sure everybody's advice is correct: Too fast-too soon, dehydration, not enough carbs, overtraining - aggh! I knew I was going to have to train my body, push past pain and weakne... read more

Hey there!

My mom and I raced the Moms On The Run 5k on Mother's Day to raise money for breast cancer patients. I got two friends to join the run at the last minute - that's $160 for Northern Nevada breast cancer patients! Go Team!

We all did well and had a great time. My mom got 2nd place for her age group (she had a bum ankle and wasn't even trying). I finished 17th for my age group and only a minute ahead of my mother. If anybody asks, the cape caused some drag and hurt my time... read more

I had the most flavor bursting, hard working, hunger smothering granola bar today.

It came out of the same box of bars I dip into every day, but this little snack had something to prove. Did they enact some new quality-control standards at the Quaker Oats factory? Did they switch to an organic, grown with love, grain supplier? Could my chewey comrade sense my insatiable hunger? Was the bar infected with a noxious bacteria that caused the raisins and almonds to swell to delicious propo... read more

"Critically Acclaimed"

February 22, 2004
As Tova enters any space, even a dusty circus tent filled with miscreants, Time, confused stumbles and for a moment, everything is still. If You happen to catch her gaze across a wide expanse and she smiles, the sunrise seems dim in comparison, and let none of that fool You. Tova is a shit kickin', fire wielding, dust covered, fence building tornado. If She is in Your corner then all things are possible, how could so much beauty and power be wrapped up in such a down to earth woman. Forget not Mount Parnassus and know that the Muse walks among us.........

Tova is the kind...I mean the kindy..I'm talkin' about the real deal here folks..Catch my drift? Intellegent, sincere, gorgeous, and not afraid to tell it like it is... And she does have psychic powers even if she won't admit it..She'll tell you it's just observation..I know better.. Certainly an angel among us humans.. Keep up the love tova...You rawk.. Love ya J

I have met some pretty darn amazing people in my life. In fact, this evening, I met Beck's bass player. I once met Lindsay Wagner, who played TV's Bionic Woman. Somewhere, I have a photo of myself with NFL Hall Of Famer Walter Payton.

But none of these people compare to Miss Tovacious. Of course you know she's a looker-- you can see the photo! But here's more info on her that her Tribe profile may not give away. She is a genius on so many levels that other geniuses lose count. She has an infectious smile that even from hundreds of miles away will affect you, if you know it's being worn. She can turn an egg into a flower and Chicago River water into ambrosia. She can dance as though she was floating above the ground, and often is floating. She has super powers which she does not use for personal gain, and her armpits emit the most powerful pheremone known to mankind, which makes everyone fall in love with her.

In fact, the only real problem I have with Tova is that she is in Reno and not near me!

Eyes as big as dinnerplates,
Mercifully closed in this understated glamorous photo,
Smart, strong, with great friends.
