It turns out Meghan's not really a blogger. She's recognized this about herself and she's just going to own it. She'll post on stuff on the home page occasionally, but don't expect major essays. For some reason, though, she seems to be tweeting regulalry. So if you want brief, useless information about what she's doing and thinking, follow her on Twitter.

In The Bleak Midwinter . . .

Wishing you a merry, happy and peaceful season.

It was for the Writers Bloc series and took place at the old MGM Theater (now the CAA Theater) in Century City. What a wondering evening and what a charming, interesting and generous man. He made my job easy. Here we are along with Writers Bloc curator Andrea Grossman. My skirt was a little short for that seating arrangement. There's always something  . . .

Not to be confused with the 1987 Martin Sheen (and Helen Shaver!) horror film of the same name.

Once again, you can listen here.
