In my previous blog entry I talked about podcast episodes number 51 and 52. Here is a postscript to one aspect of that story. In episode 51 I talked a bit about the comprehensive exams. For those, we were placed in a room for four days, three hours each day, and were expected to writeContinue reading “Podcasts 51 and 52 Part 2”

Completing the Deck
For Season Five, I’ve been using a lot of non-scripted material. For episode 51, I decided to just sit down and talk about the difficulties I had getting my PhD at Berkeley. I then went on so long I had to break it up and make it into two podcast episodes. It’s a story I’veContinue reading “Completing the Deck”
Episode #50!
First of all, a milestone: I’ve made it to podcast episode number 50! Secondly, I’m trying something a little different this season. Besides featuring new intro and outro music from composer John Rust (check out his compositions at soundofrust on YouTube) and presenting more episodes of my audio drama series Kid Again (heard on episodesContinue reading “Episode #50!”
Am I Dreaming?
I’ve always been very fond of dreaming. I think of it a little bit like a drug. Of course I don’t like the ones that involve home invasion, which are the scary ones that wake me up in a cold sweat. But generally my dreams are fascinating and I think a translucent window into myContinue reading “Am I Dreaming?”

Oberammergau: The Review!
I mentioned Oberammergau in a previous post about my cruise experience; here’s some extra info. Back in a theatrical history course early in my theatre days I heard about Oberammergau: to avoid being decimated by the Black Plague, the townspeople pledged to perform the Passion Play every ten years (starting in 1634). They followed thatContinue reading “Oberammergau: The Review!”
The Cruise (Part 2)
The story of the cruise vacation continues: And then we were on the ship—and instead of sailing the picturesque Rhine, we traversed a set of not-very attractive locks. And traveled at night, so the whole sailing thing was kind of lost. And then off the ship and on to more buses for excursions. This isContinue reading “The Cruise (Part 2)”
The Cruise (Part 1)
When you choose a cruise line for a vacation, you do your research and find one that will be ideal. A river cruise? Great! A floating hotel in which to relax for however long the trip is. You do not expect to spend so much time riding in buses, staying in hotels, or paying forContinue reading “The Cruise (Part 1)”
Travels and Travails
This is a short post before I go on the next excursion. I’m currently traveling abroad but should be returning before the next post. By then I can reflect on paying lots of money to pay for amazing things that turn out not to be so amazing. Look forward to that. Meanwhile, a preview: atContinue reading “Travels and Travails”
To Absent Friends
The title of this blog post is the same as my theme for my last DJ gig. It applies to people who are removed from us. My plan going forward for retirement is to have a blog post each week. This is this weeks’s post. And if you’re seeing it, it means I am anContinue reading “To Absent Friends”
