Skeletons in the Closet
I’m reading Kathy Griffin’s autobiography. That woman has crossed paths, worked with, or dated every single person you know in comedy. But besides all the celebrities, she talks very openly about her personal and family life. It’s raw and refreshing….
Greetings from a Former Date
Dear Catherine, For some reason, I scrolled through my gchat list just now and saw your name poking out of the over-long string of contacts, some vibrantly active in my life, others long dormant. I thought to myself: “I wonder…
