Rescued shelter dog brings new life into home
Another dog has claimed me as her human. It took three months after the death of my beloved Pumpkin for that inner voice to tell me, “I think you’re ready.” It’s sooner than I anticipated, but there was a void left behind - an emptiness that I knew could be filled by saving the life of another dog.

‘Time Stands Still’: A look at a seldom approached subject
Making its regional debut at TheatreWorks, Donald Margulies’s “Time Stands Still” brings us an emotional and seldom looked at page from the Iran and Afghan wars – or for any war zone for that matter. Successful photojournalist Sara Goodwin (outstanding Rebecca Dines) has barely survived a roadside bomb attack in the Afghan area. Brought home by her burnt out foreign correspondent longtime lover James (an inspired Mark Anderson Phillips) after weeks in a coma, her world has become a rocky place of frustration and doubt about her relationship and moving forward with her life as it was. The vulnerability of not being in absolute control is at times completely unacceptable. She has returned scarred with a leg and arm in a cast, and is dependent on others while she heals.
