Who are your favorite people to be around? As a life-long introvert who only recently has said, “Screw it, life’s too short, and who cares what people think?” (as I venture into the local social scene to raise awareness of my non-profit theatre company), I would say that the list of favorite people to beContinue reading “Ahhh, Look At All My Fav’rite People”

A Plethora of Miscellaneous
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I wrote that title a few weeks ago and saved it in Notes, because I knew it would come in handy eventually. When seeing today’s prompt I thought it was strictly apropos (which would be a bad title for my biography). Looking backContinue reading “A Plethora of Miscellaneous”
Words, Words, Words…
What books do you want to read? …said Hamlet. When I was a kid I was a voracious reader. I’d get those fifty cent sci-fi paperbacks and devour them like a hungry space monster. The prices would go up but that didn’t slow me down. I read constantly (though it helped to not have friendsContinue reading “Words, Words, Words…”
Theatre Traditions!
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions. Side note (at the beginning, which seems like an odd place for a side note, but hear me out): I recall responding to a similar prompt not too long ago. Rather than repeat myself, I’m pivoting to talk about theatre traditions. In my last position, onContinue reading “Theatre Traditions!”
Can Retirement Be a Dream Job?
What’s your dream job? People often asked me why I was retiring from my position as a college professor in Theatre when I clearly enjoyed it so much. And my constant refrain was always: “I love my work but I hate my job.” I liked working with students, I enjoyed some aspects of teaching, andContinue reading “Can Retirement Be a Dream Job?”
Come Follow Me
What makes a good leader? It’s likely that I could write an entire volume (maybe a slim one) on what makes a good leader, based on my experiences as a theatre director in academia. Fortunately for you, and for the sake of brevity, I’ll only look at one aspect for this particular blog post. TheContinue reading “Come Follow Me”
Love, Love, Love
Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved? When I first looked at today’s prompt, I ran through a series of people who might have expressed love in such a way that I felt enveloped by the emotion. I turned up empty, but before I began rewinding my memory tape, I rememberedContinue reading “Love, Love, Love”
Mission and Passion
What is your mission? In a bad poem, the two words of the title of this post might be thought to rhyme. While I would not try to force that onto any of my verse, I do think the two terms go hand in hand. I’ve often mentioned how, when meeting students at college campusContinue reading “Mission and Passion”
It Ain’t What It Used To Be…
What makes you feel nostalgic? Say the title. Then hear the rim-shot for the old joke. I read today’s prompt and thought, well, I can’t answer that. I never get nostalgic for past days. They are in the past and I generally don’t find myself getting wistful over memories (even though I do turn themContinue reading “It Ain’t What It Used To Be…”
The Scammer’s Handbook
Wouldn’t you like to get a glimpse of The Scammer’s Handbook? Well, now you can! All you need to do is look at any scam/spam email and you see a part of what they must circulate (I imagine a 3” 3-ring binder) in order to try to entrap their victims. The amazing part for meContinue reading “The Scammer’s Handbook”
