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…”

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”

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”
Apokalypse Soon?
What are you most worried about for the future? When I retired, I planned on travel and creative projects. I’m working on both. But always nagging somewhere are fears for the future. And not those little things like cancer or knee transplants. Global things. Worldwide, there’s global climate change. Grow a garden and you canContinue reading “Apokalypse Soon?”
Cold? No.
How do you feel about cold weather? I hate the cold. In fact, in the short film I’m currently working on, the interrogator asks the captive what he thinks the worst form of torture would be. The captive (who is, shockingly, the autobiographical me) answers, “Well, I hate cold….” One of my favorite memories ofContinue reading “Cold? No.”
