You have to be careful about what you click on when posting things on the Web.
favorite spot in your home:
The jacuzzi.
web site you love to go to:
Don't love the Web. Use it for work, but not for pleasure.
biggest one-eighty of your life:
A recent car accident. In the moment before I hit the cement barrier (going about 60 mph), I thought, “I'm going to die and there's nothing I can do about it.” My lack of ability to alter the outcome was the fascinating aspect of the situation; this surprised me.

tops on tomorrow's to-do list:
Issue a press release about the move of the Livermore Shakespeare Festival to Concannon Vineyard, where they're grading a space for us and moving a Victorian house to be our backdrop or “tiring house.” And prepare for the opening this Friday of Eric Overmeyer's play On the Verge, or the Geography of Yearning.
