What was the last thing you did for play or fun? As part of the founding of a new theatre company, I decided to join the Chamber of Commerce for networking. During one of those events, I spoke with some people from a local chain hotel who are interested in some programming. The same wasContinue reading “Play or Fun? Play AND Fun!”

Hard Choices
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? Sometimes, you’re asked a question, and you have to replay your entire life in your mind—rewind, fast-forward, stop, play, then more rewinding… Did you miss any details, and did you see enough of the highlights? Rewind again…. Or maybe it’s more like checking your analytics.Continue reading “Hard Choices”
Alternate Careers
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? Let me begin by saying that I believe I chose precisely the correct career for myself. As a college professor, I had a great deal of autonomy in making my schedule and teaching what I wanted to teach. At a small campus, as anContinue reading “Alternate Careers”
I’m Proud To Be…
What are you most proud of in your life? This is an interesting prompt, and one that I could get very long-winded with, making lists of all kinds of things. But, as I often quote, brevity is the soul of wit, and I want this to be a witty (though not funny, just insightful) post.Continue reading “I’m Proud To Be…”
Defined by Things
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? We define ourselves in many and myriad ways. One way we define ourselves is through our friends. Who we attract and associate with helps us determine who we are and who we think we are (or want to be). When a friendship is lost weContinue reading “Defined by Things”
Night Fever, Night Fevahhhhh….
What’s your favorite time of day? I have never been a morning person. I’m a zombie in the mornings because I refuse to go to bed early so I can wake up early and refreshed—because that’s just not going to happen. I will still be awake late, and then be a walker/walking dead person inContinue reading “Night Fever, Night Fevahhhhh….”
Speaking of Motivation
What motivates you? There’s the old joke about the actor who constantly asks, “What’s my motivation?” It’s part of the actor’s job to figure that out, not to be spoon-fed the answers by the director. In one instance, when an actor was told to cross from one side of the stage to the other, heContinue reading “Speaking of Motivation”
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!”
I Profess!
What profession do you admire most and why? This is an interesting prompt from one perspective: I guess I’m supposed to pick some particular profession, like the old rhyme/song: Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Sorry, that’s a remnant from my less socially aware childhood. It should be Native American chief,Continue reading “I Profess!”
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? Once again, the prompt kicks in an earworm that will be with me the rest of the day. As for the prompt itself: I’ve become a bit cynical over the years about effecting change in the world. I spent 31Continue reading “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes”
