And now for your listening pleasure: three new Audio Chimera podcast episodes, #64-66. It seems odd to me that I had written blog posts about episodes I hadn’t recorded or released yet. When I did the posts on Lost Toys, I hadn’t even written the episode scripts. Previously I’d release the episode and eventually getContinue reading “New Podcast Episodes Available”

Best Pets?
What animals make the best/worst pets? This prompt reminds me of the old Mac vs PC debate. I say old, though it may still go on; I don’t play it anymore. The answer to this debate question is: whatever works for you. So the best/worst pet question probably has a similar answer. I love catsContinue reading “Best Pets?”
Shh… Don’t Tell Anyone
What job would you do for free? Of course we all want fair remuneration for what we do. I’ve seen people at all levels taken advantage of by their employers. But—I’d direct shows for free. Directing has been an almost-lifelong passion. Plus I’d like to hit that career goal of 100 shows, and I’m onlyContinue reading “Shh… Don’t Tell Anyone”
Sports?
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? I’ve been trying to respond to these prompts daily in order to be able to write a little each day. This one will be brief for two reasons: 1) the space at on my iPad keyboard has stopped working and I’m on my phone for this,Continue reading “Sports?”
In My Neighborhood
How would you improve your community? I’ve lived in a number of different places, and currently reside in Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood: Latrobe, PA. Like so many towns in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, it sprang up because of industry and railroad access, flourished for awhile, and then became depressed. Now it has some new businesses set inContinue reading “In My Neighborhood”
Covid Changes Everything!
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? My post title is taken from the Cindi Lauper song, “Money Changes Everything.” Although, as we noted during the pandemic, some people refused to change, or even acknowledge there was such a thing. I’m amazed that such ignorance did not lead toContinue reading “Covid Changes Everything!”
Morning Rituals
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? After stripping down and climbing out on the roof to do a dance to honor the Cosmic Mother, I… Wait, that’s not me! My morning “rituals,” if you can call them that, are pretty mundane. Shower and dress, and getContinue reading “Morning Rituals”
“Very Unique”
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique? As an undergradI had a writing professor who criticized a friend of mine’s use of the phrase “very unique.” This was incorrect, he said, because “Unique has no degree.” Something or someone is either unique or it’’s not. I guess it’s the same as being “aContinue reading ““Very Unique””
Critical Thinking: Now More Than Ever!
As various political movers and shakers at various levels in government work to dismantle both public and higher education, it is clear to me that the skill of critical thinking has never been more important. And the topic for this blog post came to mind when I was reading about the use of ChatGPT, theContinue reading “Critical Thinking: Now More Than Ever!”
You Name It!
If you could have something named after you, what would it be? Sometimes I think naming things after people is a little strange. I get that it’s a way of remembering people, usually donors, but sometimes it seems to get out of hand. For example, sitting in the front pew of the Immaculate Misconception ofContinue reading “You Name It!”
