What do you enjoy most about writing? An easy prompt! I’ve been working on these blog posts for 148 days in a row, according to my daily notifications. I started it mostly to have the opportunity to write a little bit each day, since that’s something that’s often suggested for writers to do to stayContinue reading “Writing!”

The Shape of Things to Come
How would you design the city of the future? Back in the early 90’s I played a game called SimCity. The black and white simulation game allowed me to design towns that could develop into cities of the future. Of course, they would be hampered by having leftover technologies, like telephone poles that littered theContinue reading “The Shape of Things to Come”
Top 10 Movies
What are your top ten favorite movies? Asking for a top ten list of movies is a bit daunting—you see, I write my daily blog entry during my first cup of coffee and I’m not capable of higher order thinking this early. But I will give you my top three. Incidentally, for a film class,Continue reading “Top 10 Movies”
No Place Like Home?
What do you love about where you live? Recently I was renewing my clearances—those hoops we need to jump through in Pennsylvania after the antics of Sandusky, Paterno, et al at Penn State made everyone who works with children a pedophile until proven innocent. One of the requirements on the forms is to list allContinue reading “No Place Like Home?”
Negative Emotions
In yesterday’s blog post, I responded to the prompt about positive emotions. I googled it, and discovered the Internet thinks there are twelve of them. Of courses, that got me wondering what the negative emotions are. And so my google search said: In acting, we talk about playing emotions and not conditions, so I’m notContinue reading “Negative Emotions”
Second my Emotion
What positive emotion do you feel most often? In looking at this prompt, I first asked myself, “What are the positive emotions?” My mind then flew back to Catholic school and free associated learning about the different mysteries of the rosary: Joyful, Sorrowful, and…the other one. I can never remember it without googling. Glorious! AndContinue reading “Second my Emotion”
Goooooooaaaaalllllls!
How do you plan your goals? How do I plan my goals? This is an interesting question. I see this planning akin to the objectives of a character in a play, with both short and long term goals. And I think they arise and I work toward them in different ways. Once I thought: I’dContinue reading “Goooooooaaaaalllllls!”
This is a Test…
Create an emergency preparedness plan. I’ve had a couple brushes with emergency plans in the past, some of which I’ve documented on my podcast, Audio Chimera. When exploring the building where Thom McAn was housed, my manager and I followed the pneumatic tube system up and down, and discovered the bomb shelter materials stored inContinue reading “This is a Test…”
OMG! Awesome!
What is a word you feel that too many people use? Here’s a prompt that, as soon as I read it, I said the word that I feel too many people use. But—it’s not in the title of this post. The first time I heard someone say “O-M-G!” I was stunned. Sure, you might sendContinue reading “OMG! Awesome!”
Peace
What brings you peace? There’s a lot of turmoil going on right now, so much so I won’t make a joke about Turmoil being some kind of cleanser that leaves things messier than started. Or maybe I will! Because saying stupid/witty improvised comments makes me happy, and I wish more people around me appreciated theContinue reading “Peace”
