What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals? Meals became more complicated when my fiancée’s son moved in with us. He likes to cook, and did so for awhile, but now that he has a job (blue collar with lots of physical exertion during the day), he’s in no shape to whip up some sortContinue reading “No Substitutions”

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Meetup
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why? I looked at the prompt and said, “Well, duh!” And then I thought I should have some sort of contest for the followers of this blog: Who do you think I’d pick as the answer to today’s prompt? I’m not sure whatContinue reading “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Meetup”
Instincts We Trust
Do you trust your instincts? I always try to embed a joke, hidden meaning, or odd allusion when I coin my post titles. Get it—“coin”? To address this prompt, I have to first define instincts for a human. Are they some sort of manifestation of extra-sensory perception? (That’s “spidey sense” for you Marvel fans.) OrContinue reading “Instincts We Trust”
Anywhere?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? For most of my life I did only domestic traveling because I either didn’t have the time to go elsewhere, or more likely I didn’t have the money. Now that I’m adding some destinations to my list, I can better answer this prompt.Continue reading “Anywhere?”
Deconstructing the Year
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? One of the things I focused on when teaching postmodernism and deconstruction was looking at the negative space, at what isn’t there. This is not to be confused with liminal space, or the space in between things. A google search suggests a door may be considered aContinue reading “Deconstructing the Year”
From Voracious to Vicarious
What book are you reading right now? A few years back I directed The Birth of Merlin, considered one of Shakespeare’s Apocryphal Works. That is, it’s been attributed to him—at least in part; scholars think he collaborated with William Rowley on the text—but no one is 100% sure. To help explain the play and contextualContinue reading “From Voracious to Vicarious”
Favorite Place In My City…?
What is your favorite place to go in your city? I’ve lived in a few different locations up to this point; to enumerate them (and the number of different addresses in each): You can see why, when I have to renew my “I never molested children” clearances mandated after the Penn State/Sandusky scandal, I needContinue reading “Favorite Place In My City…?”
First Impressions
What’s the first impression you want to give people? By answering this prompt, I feel like I’m taking notes for an online personal ad. Speaking of which, I’m often amazed at how much truth is revealed in the subtext of such ads. I used to present some in my Playwrighting class, and ask, “What isContinue reading “First Impressions”
The Famous Ones
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? There was a long-running TV game show in the 1950s and 1960s called What’s My Line? Regular people and celebrities would enter, sign in (please!), and then the panel would question them in order to guess who they were or what they did.Continue reading “The Famous Ones”
Welcome to Macintosh!
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). One of the projects I’m currently working on* has the working title of Digital Tech Memoir. It’s a recounting of my life with computer technology, reflecting both the development of said technology and how I’ve used it in my personal andContinue reading “Welcome to Macintosh!”
