My massage therapist ended our session by saying, “I really think I danced with your body today.” I reacted with a smile but I have been thinking about it ever since. I know that this was meant on a therapeutic level, but it really is one of the sexiest things anyone has ever said toContinue reading “Dance With Me”

Long, Beautiful…Where?
In the notes I found recently, one of the lines says, “History of My Hair.” Since the hair on top of my head is mostly gone, perhaps “Eulogy of My Hair” might be more accurate. When I was a kid, my hair rarely got very long, and my mother favored a crew cut. Looking inContinue reading “Long, Beautiful…Where?”
The Premiere Premiere
When getting a new theatre group started, the first thing you really have to worry about is, well, I guess, money. The second is having people audition for your performances. I decided to hedge my bets by starting with a one-person show, and casting a former student of mine in the role. Luckily he’s youngContinue reading “The Premiere Premiere”
Canned Scam
Frequent readers of my blog will have seen my encounters with the scammers who begin with the “wrong number” ploy on text messages. They then try to continue the conversation. The most fun happens when I improv with them, either pretending to be the person they say they’re texting, or going off on some otherContinue reading “Canned Scam”
Smile? Not For You…
Most people don’t like going to the dentist, mostly for good reasons. The chair is usually uncomfortable, it’s a bit awkward having someone stick their fingers in your mouth, the X-ray film holders make you gag, and often you get chided for not taking the proper care of your teeth. Not that they’re wrong, it’sContinue reading “Smile? Not For You…”
Weather It’s Cold or Weather It’s Hot…
What is your favorite type of weather? The actual phrase is, “Whether it’s cold or whether it’s hot, we’re going to have weather, whether or not.” As a result we may have frost on our rubber baby buggy bumpers. (Repeat 5 times.) I hate cold. When I get really cold I start shivering uncontrollably. IContinue reading “Weather It’s Cold or Weather It’s Hot…”
A Fatwa on the Patois
I had a dream last night in which I was flipping through a number of documents. Each seemed to have at least one typo or misspelled word. One of these was “agressive” and I found this particularly annoying. While it didn’t occur in this dream, I’ve been seeing too many badly worded instructions from ChineseContinue reading “A Fatwa on the Patois”
Roboshop
My late wife was an avid shopper. She would start moving through clothing racks in a very methodical way and you could see her calculating fabric, color, etc. as she went. I called this method “Roboshop” because she reminded me of the Peter Weller character as he would move and swivel his head to takeContinue reading “Roboshop”
Notes About Dreams
In a recent blog post I mentioned finding old notes about various things that might become future blog posts. Well, the future is now! Four of the notes begin: “Dream:” and have some mention of what happened in some dream I had years ago. Often when I take notes, such brief phrases are enough toContinue reading “Notes About Dreams”
“She Tipped Me A Crystal”
At Berkeley, we had a summer lunchtime theatre series. Each show rehearsed for two weeks (one week in the morning, one week in the afternoon) and then a week of performances. I directed two shows in two summers: Noel Coward’s We Were Dancing (in the Durham Studio Theatre) and Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost—which I cutContinue reading ““She Tipped Me A Crystal””
