Six Degrees of Silliness

All right, so I'm getting this uncool vibe from our male readership about there being too much "baby" being batted around. Well, I resent the implication that all I can talk about is baby (though she's certainy worth it!). Let me tell you that in my life BC (before children) I did Interesting Things. I was, back in the day, a theatrical stage manager and production assistant in Los Angeles -- is that cool enough for you? Huh? Huh?

And to top it off, I can link myself within Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon!

1) I stage managed a show in Beverly Hills (natch!) that was directed by 2) Stephen Tobolowsky, a very kind man who gave much encouragement to a young pregnant last-minute stage manager. Stephen was Needlenose Ned in Groundhog Day, which also starred 3) Bill Murray , who was in both She's Having a Baby and Wild Things with 4) Kevin Bacon!

But I can do better than that: I can also connect with Johnny Depp (this is what makes me cool in the eyes of my sister)!
You see, Bill Murray was in Ed Wood with Johnny Depp , who was also in Chocolat with Carrie-Anne Moss, who was in Memento with Stephen Tobolowsky, who directed a show that I stage managed!

So you see why stage managing just became too overwhelming and I retired to have babies.
