October 19, 2010. Lady Business in the press! My all-female improv troupe Lady Business got a wonderful review in Sacramento Press!

Fool's Compass: February 2009
http://foolscompass.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
February 27, 2009. Anyway, I land in Los Angeles on March 10. After I return to some semblance of normalcy, and consume my weight in Mexican food and leafy green salads, I will fly up north. I can't wait to catch up with everyone and share stories, photos and goodies from India. Of course, right now I don't have a phone or a job and all my possessions are in boxes, so I clearly have a few details to take care of before the in-person revelry can begin. But let's start the virtual revelry right now!

Fool's Compass: November 2009
http://foolscompass.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
November 30, 2009. Manuscript Monday: Crashing the Cricket Club. Towards the end of my first week in Mumbai, I had a wild day that encompassed animal slaughter, sitting at the feet of an elderly guru, and lunching at the members-only Cricket Club of India. I wrote a post about the first two parts of this day while on the road last year, which you can read here. Needless to say, I was not at my finest in this fine-dining establishment. I excused myself to use the restroom, and then walked out to the empty...

Fool's Compass: December 2009
http://foolscompass.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
December 28, 2009. Manuscript Monday: The dragonflies. This will be the last Manuscript Monday for a little while. I am changing directions, both geographically and in my writing. After three months of working on a non-fiction account of my experiences in India, I have realized the story I want to tell is better conveyed in fiction. The new year will bring a new start on page 1 of a new book. I leave you with another true tale of Goan magic. With love and gratitude, Becca. The dragonflies dove and soared...

Fool's Compass: November 2008
http://foolscompass.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
November 27, 2008. Holy f% -ing shit! First, for all of you who have written to me after hearing about the insane situation currently happening in Mumbai, yes, I am fine. Thank you so much for thinking of me. Secondly, holy fucking shit! The terrorists are still free in the hotels and the train station. No one is yet sure why this is happening. The army has descended on the city and police are being sent from all areas. May this wisdom spread throughout India - and the world - before another life is lost.

Fool's Compass: January 2009
http://foolscompass.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
January 22, 2009. Here's a traveler's tip you won't find in Lonely Planet: If you are the only person in line for the roller coaster at a virtually deserted Thai amusement park on Pattaya beach, there's probably a reason. The teenaged ride operator was thrilled to have some customers, but my mom and I got terribly battered lurching around the track. We both pretended we didn't understand English to escape the free second ride he offered us. Ride operator: "You want to go again? Sorry no habla.".

Fool's Compass: An open letter to my omnivorous friends
http://foolscompass.blogspot.com/2010/01/open-letter-to-my-omnivorous-friends.html
January 13, 2010. An open letter to my omnivorous friends. This is not an easy letter for me to write. That's probably why I'm putting it on my blog, instead of sending it to you directly. I have gone to great lengths in my life to avoid being a preachy vegan. I hate to make people feel defensive, so I often find myself encouraging friends at the dinner table to "Go ahead! Eat whatever you want! I can honestly say that it is, by far, the most difficult book I have ever read. It literally caused me ph...
