A whole year since I’ve seen this beautiful now-adult human. I am so happy to have him back but also so grateful for the year he got to have, the memories he’ll hold dear, and the language he’ll always now know. He’s off to college in the fall. Where did 18 years go?

Almost 20 years ago in this space. Needed a new paint job, some lighting fixtures. A mic or two. This was a big jump from 875 6th ave, where I had been since 1998. This year marks 25 years between the two locations. What a journey.

"See You In the Cosmos" by Jack Cheng is not only a wonderful Middle Grade book, but it was a 2017 Audie Award winner for Best Kids Audiobook. It's especially dear to my heart because my son, Kivlighan, narrated it when he was 12. It's also a multicast (with Brittany Pressley, Michael Crouch, Susan Bennett, Therese Plummer, Pete Larkin, Dan Bittner, Jason Samuel Culp, and Courtney Shaw) but Kiv narrated the bulk of it (roughly 5 1/2 hours...). I was incredibly impressed by his performance.

He was expertly coached by Paula Parker. I even got to sprinkle sound effects throughout, place the voices in their environments, and do some foley. Thanks to Karen DiMattia Dziekonski for giving him this amazing opportunity and for trusting me with the production. It was so much fun. Here's a little behind-the-scenes video of Kiv and Michael Crouch performing a scene.
