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!”

When I Think About Me, I…um…
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I always thought that the popular song, referenced in my title, would be a good anthem for an egotist. Hopefully you know what song I mean, but I’ll link to it anyway, and you can join my earworm club for the day. As for my favorite thing about me,Continue reading “When I Think About Me, I…um…”
An Uninspiring Scammer
This is another in my series of improvs with scammers. They send me a message, then claim it’s a wrong number and try to elicit conversation.

While the last one was not a good improviser (see previous blog posts for #1 and #2), this one had a little more going for him/her. I decided to get a little more baroque inContinue reading “And Now, A Third!”
Damn Your Spam!
So the scammers started a new thing: they send a text to you asking you a question, but it’s not your name. Oh, no, wrong number! Can we still be friends on WhatsApp? I’m not sure of the endgame, and instead of playing with them, I started sending this message: “How many times I haveContinue reading “Damn Your Spam!”
Fun Exercise
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I have heard a great deal about pickleball lately. It sounds like something I would enjoy and that would provide fun exercise. A former colleague of mine teaches it locally, and said I should drop by—9am to noon on Saturdays. I laughed; I may be up by 11Continue reading “Fun Exercise”
