What is your favorite type of weather? The actual phrase is, “Whether it’s cold or whether it’s hot, we’re going to have weather, whether or not.” As a result we may have frost on our rubber baby buggy bumpers. (Repeat 5 times.) I hate cold. When I get really cold I start shivering uncontrollably. IContinue reading “Weather It’s Cold or Weather It’s Hot…”

Negative to Positive **ZZZZAP!**
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? I’m sorry to say that I sometimes find myself in a situation when I get a bit overwhelmed by negative feelings. I often express this (silently, mentally) by wishing Russia would just release their nuclear arsenal and we wouldn’t be bothered by all the day-to-dayContinue reading “Negative to Positive **ZZZZAP!**”
Writing’s On the Wall…?
Are you superstitious? Can a person be superstitious and not superstitious at the same time? I don’t really believe that “bad luck” is caused by things such as breaking a mirror, walking under a ladder, or having my path crossed by a black cat. And yet I assiduously avoid all of those things. If aContinue reading “Writing’s On the Wall…?”
Questions Only
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. Over the years, the questions that made me uncomfortable have changed. I guess that corresponds to my level of maturity and leads me to where we are now. First, speaking generally of questions, I always like to come back to the Bernard Pivot questions usedContinue reading “Questions Only”
Don’t Tell Me I Can’t
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? One of the quickest ways to encourage me to do something is to tell me I can’t do it, or to speak the more passive phrase, “it can’t be done.” That’s precisely the motivation I’ve often needed to accomplish a goal. ItContinue reading “Don’t Tell Me I Can’t”
5000 What?
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? “It all started in a little 5000 watt radio station in Fresno, California.” That is of course a brilliant start to an autobiography, but it wouldn’t be mine. It actually comes from Ted Baxter, the pompous anchorman character on on The Mary Tyler Moore Show from theContinue reading “5000 What?”
Call It Fate…
Do you believe in fate/destiny? I read the prompt and, as often happens, a song came into my mind, but with a slight difference: I wrote the lyrics to this one, and Jeremy dePrisco composed the music. The song, “Call It Fate” was sung by the Spirit Guide Dog in my musical, Dog Assassin. WeContinue reading “Call It Fate…”
I Left My Heart…
Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said. For most of the people I’ve said “goodbye” to over the years, it’s really been more of a “see you later.” We mostly still keep in touch, however sporadically, and I’ve lost only a few whom I’ve really cared about. But California, now… Well. That’s different. I leftContinue reading “I Left My Heart…”
Margaret? It’s Me, God
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? If I could be someone else for a day, I’d choose to be God. And of course, I mean an omnipotent and all-powerful one. Or One. Why? Because in this age when it seems that life is out of controlContinue reading “Margaret? It’s Me, God”
“Unprecedented”
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? Here’s a glimpse into part of my daily routine: I often check the daily prompt before getting into the shower, to let my unconscious mind cogitate on the topic until I get to open my iPad and begin typing.Continue reading ““Unprecedented””
