My favorite nugget of the NY Times is free.
Mark Twain once said...
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
I concur.
I concur.
Why I created this:
- My boyfriend Joe likes to sleep in late on the weekends
- and I end up browsing celebrity tabloid Web sites
- while our dog snores under the covers.
- And since I'm a reporter who spends her Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories.
- A chronic procrastinator.
- Who needs structure.
- Who once quit her job to write a book.
- And like most writers, made up excuses why she couldn't keep at it.
- Perhaps the book starts with a blog.
- I see that a lot of people have them.
- Maybe this will do the trick.
- Maybe I'll get The Move On as my dad would say.
- I'm 27 and I'm afraid if I don't start now
- I'll get caught up in something else.
- We all do.
Me.
Joe.
Our dog.
Joe and our dog sleeping.

- Because the word blog sounds like something that comes out of a person's nose, I named this blog Lance after my old friend Sarah's fascination with a made-up cowboy named Lance.

What about her artwork?
She was a crazy abstract artist, like John, and did that help them connect, in a crazy abstract way?
Was Lennon dreaming when he came up with a lot of his art? ...it looks like something one would conjure up during a long dream after falling asleep on the couch.
I'm with Roger, what about her artwork?
I guess my only other question would be with regards to whether or not they ever created art together or his artwork inspired her (and vice versa)?
Enjoy the interview! Sounds cool!
What connection does Yoko see between John's songs and his visual art?
Who had the most influence on John's art?
Does she see a unifying theme among all of his works?
It’s so nice site. We love to see more on this site. Keep on updating… MonkAreYou Bali *cgnggcg
Thanks guys.
Roger & Sarah: Yoko touched on her art at the end of the interview, as I asked her if she ever tires of promoting John's stuff.
Rog: When I asked her if she and John's artwork helped them connect, she took the answer in an entirely different direction.
And Sal: I asked her all three of your questions! Thanks!
I received several e-mails from friends and family suggesting I ask Yoko things that I'm certain would cause the woman to hang up on me (ahem, Mom, Rick, Gabriel.)
I'll most likely post the interview here, since the newspapers I pitched it to are either over budget or uninterested. I'd rather make zilch off it, edit it as I like and have you people read it and respond.
I don't think Yoko would mind.
Oh and Michelle, whom I sat next to yesterday morning at Tires Plus in St. Pete, that question about getting tired of promoting Lennon's work, was for you!
Thank you for your 8 a.m. waiting room input.
That is so cool (I'm a little late reading this). Can't wait to hear how it went!
I can't wait to read it, cut your way or cut a newspaper's way! Post the link when it's ready!
Thanks to Joe, I might have a taker. If so, I'll post a link.
I'm almost a crazy blog-stalker at this point, but I looked up Jason Segel last night to see who you were talking about.
At first, I thought you were insane, but then on my drive home I wound up stuck in traffic next to this big-ass billboard for "I love you, man," and...
I can kind of see the resemblance =)
