Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. Sing the title to the tune of “I’m a Girl Watcher.” Yeah, I know, the rhythm’s a bit off, but that’s how my mind works. And I am a to-do lister. I’m very big on making lists, and I find tremendous satisfaction in crossing items off.Continue reading “I’m a To-Do Lister”

And….Action!
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? When I announced my retirement, people asked me what I would do in my free time. “Travel and creative projects!” I would say. There hasn’t been as much travel as I would have liked because, well, let’s face it, arranging a trip is often likeContinue reading “And….Action!”
Can Retirement Be a Dream Job?
What’s your dream job? People often asked me why I was retiring from my position as a college professor in Theatre when I clearly enjoyed it so much. And my constant refrain was always: “I love my work but I hate my job.” I liked working with students, I enjoyed some aspects of teaching, andContinue reading “Can Retirement Be a Dream Job?”
The Future’s Passed
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? I have a lot of both paper and computer files that contain enough notes for me to use to write full time, eight hours a day, for another lifetime (at least). Sadly, I’ll never get the chance to do that unless IContinue reading “The Future’s Passed”
Mission and Passion
What is your mission? In a bad poem, the two words of the title of this post might be thought to rhyme. While I would not try to force that onto any of my verse, I do think the two terms go hand in hand. I’ve often mentioned how, when meeting students at college campusContinue reading “Mission and Passion”
If I Had a Sports Team
If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be? To continue the song reference I begin alluding to in the title: If I had a sports team, I’d—actually I don’t know what I’d do. All bets would be off. It might be a sign of the apocalypse. I did follow theContinue reading “If I Had a Sports Team”
The Empty Space; Add All Ingredients and Frappé
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? My title today is a hidden (?) reference to Peter Brook‘s book in which he defined several types of theatre. It’s a good read even today. As for my ideal space for reading and writing, it would also have to haveContinue reading “The Empty Space; Add All Ingredients and Frappé”
Play or Fun? Play AND Fun!
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!”
This Year…And the Next…
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? A year ago I thought I would be starting a new theatre company (I did, on May 1), and then there would be this magical sweep into projects and performances. It didn’t happen. Taking the time to build the structure has been useful, and now,Continue reading “This Year…And the Next…”
Bye Bye, Scammers, Bye Bye!
Well, some of them anyway. Frequent readers of this blog have seen my mentions of the scammers who start with an innocent text, such as, “Hello, Lisa, it’s Grace, we met at the conference, would you like to meet for lunch?” The recipient is supposed to reply denying being the intended recipient, so the senderContinue reading “Bye Bye, Scammers, Bye Bye!”
