HI Em. Interesting topic. We should all be pretty good at mundanity; we get so much practice. Here, we already recycle food waste through composting. I understand that it's a large part of garbage, so good for the environment to recycle. If we all do our little part, maybe we'll make it into the next century. Louise Sorensen louise3anne twitter
Cute video and love your matching blue shirts! Enjoyed hearing about your chores and how each one of you attacks the task. Yours are on a bigger scale than mine, but we do our daily, 2x a week etc chores as a form of good exercise for us senior citizens. Since we are almost homebound completing these chores are important to us and keep us moving around the house. kam
Good topic Em! There are so many things we do on a daily basis while on 'autopilot' that we don't even realize how much we are getting done. And I guess I need to look into stockpiling those fluorescent bulbs too :) Lisa

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com

How did you get rid of those long fluorescent bulbs? They're not supposed to go in the garbage, and nobody recycles them.

I just LOVE the two of you!!! Even when you're talking about mundanities, you make it enjoyable.
And you remind me, Em, I have some files I need to back up! :)
