Working for the Weekend?

Describe your ideal week. And of course, the prompt brings forth another lyrical reference: The prompt also makes me ask what’s behind the question. Does it presume a “normal” week of working 9 to 5 (no, I won’t post that video too) followed by antics over a crazy weekend, leading to the Sunday dread andContinue reading “Working for the Weekend?”

Who?

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. Let me start out by mentioning professional athletes I know. Um, yes, give me a moment. Wait… Uhhhh… Okay, so I don’t follow any professional sport. I know some athletes’ names from news stories (winning Wimbledon, imprisoned for dog fighting, that sort of thing), orContinue reading “Who?”

Relax? Don’t Do It!

How do you relax? I may have mentioned here in the past that my mind is a free association jukebox. I look at a prompt and a corresponding song comes to mind. As for relaxation, there’s been way too little of that lately. Bits and pieces have been revealed before, but in a nutshell, myContinue reading “Relax? Don’t Do It!”

Tears of Laughter, But…

What brings a tear of joy to your eye? There’s not been any tears of joy for years. I’m not sure joy has been an emotion I’ve experienced for awhile. I’d like to feel that, but real life has intruded in such a way that that has not been possible. I will pivot here andContinue reading “Tears of Laughter, But…”

Why Blog?

Why do you blog? I blog for several reasons. Doing a daily blog means I do a little writing each day. It’s like exercising or stretching—keeping up that daily routine maintains a sharper mind. Or so I tell myself. Now if I could just get into exercising or stretching daily! (I do get a 2Continue reading “Why Blog?”

My Show of Shows

What TV shows did you watch as a kid? I read a lot of books as a kid. And played outside and rode my bike. But it seems I still had a great deals of time to watch TV. I enjoyed Saturday morning cartoons for a long time. I’d watch the previews on Friday nightContinue reading “My Show of Shows”

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”

Improv!

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. I was very excited about the StoryZ Improv Night. We—members of the StoryZ theatre company—created the event, and I was the master of ceremonies. We had three performers, including one from the audience (though a ringer, actually one of our own), and elicited some honestContinue reading “Improv!”

Writing!

What do you enjoy most about writing? An easy prompt! I’ve been working on these blog posts for 148 days in a row, according to my daily notifications. I started it mostly to have the opportunity to write a little bit each day, since that’s something that’s often suggested for writers to do to stayContinue reading “Writing!”
