A few things happened the past few days. I saw a couple of weeks ago that actress Erica Hubbard was going to be at Colonial Williamsburg as a guest performer during their Steadfast Spirits programming. Reading the description of events, I knew that she would be portraying a woman named Lydia who was once the [...]

I was trying to blog every Monday on my days off, the problem has been, I haven’t been off on a Monday in a while. I’ve either flexed my time because I was out of town, or I have had to come in to get some extra work done. At the end of the day, [...]

For the past 8 months, I have been looking for employment, particularly in the field. I have finally found said employment and will be moving YET AGAIN!

Initially, when asked to do a blog post for Nicole, I was shocked that she would want to hear from someone who is so “green” in the world of interpreters. After the initial the shock, came the proud honor to be selected to write something that would be published to this wonderful blog she has [...]

I realize that there are quite a few of you who get posts as emails delivered as soon as they are posted. You probably got a few today that looked like complete and utter foolishness or previews to posts that will come out next week. I apologize for the influx of emails and any confusion. [...]
