What are you most excited about for the future? Are people still excited about the prospect of flying cars? I always worried about them because if you crashed in the air, then you’d fall to the ground and crash again. That seems like a bad thing to me. Also, maybe we should be more worriedContinue reading “The Future!”

Exotic and Alien
Describe your most memorable vacation. Usually I didn’t have a vacation—not precisely. Since around 1991, I attended the Association of Theatre in Higher Education (almost every year for a while there) and, since they held it in the summer, those trips also included a vacation element. Depending on the location, I would see Broadway showsContinue reading “Exotic and Alien”
Theatre. VR. Virtual Theatre.
On what subject(s) are you an authority? Since I have spent the last 46 years participating in every aspect of theatre, from acting to design to directing, I would have to say that I am an authority on Theatre. I’ve always concentrated in directing, whether as a student or as faculty, and that would beContinue reading “Theatre. VR. Virtual Theatre.”
Rod Stewart Again?
What makes a teacher great? The answer to today’s prompt also prompted a return of the Rod Stewart earworm from a few weeks ago. “Passion.” I always read my student evaluations, and of course always reacted poorly to negative comments. I think most college professors are more sensitive to those than the positive ones. WeContinue reading “Rod Stewart Again?”
Those Who Don’t Want To Do Any Longer…Teach
There’s a phenomenon I’ve observed that happens frequently in the creative world. Someone gets something established, maybe a podcast, runs it for awhile, and then decides to become a consultant to help others get their offering up and running. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this. They’re using their expertise to help others, and maybe avoidContinue reading “Those Who Don’t Want To Do Any Longer…Teach”
The Uniform
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? I find this to be an amusing little prompt. 1) Who would want to? 2) I kinda used to! When I was teaching I had a “sort of” uniform: I was known for wearing black jeans. On the rareContinue reading “The Uniform”
Pick ONE!
Another birthday passed. Last year I used a reference to “I Can’t Drive 65!” by Sammy Hagar. This year I am saying that I’m starting out getting my kicks on Route 66. I believe this will exhaust the birthday highway messages (unless I usher in next year’s day with “Life is a Highway”). On aContinue reading “Pick ONE!”
Go, Go, Goethe!
Who is your favorite historical figure? Frequent readers of my blog will know exactly who my favorite historical figure is. And others will probably know, too, since I gave it away in my title. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is best known for writing Faust (Parts One and Two), but there was so much more toContinue reading “Go, Go, Goethe!”
First (and Secret) Crush
Write about your first crush. Often, before stepping into the shower, I’ll read the daily prompt and let my mind cogitate on ideas before I sit down to write over my morning coffee, However, when I saw this prompt, I immediately flashed back (cue flipping calender sheets) to Veronica. I don’t remember if she startedContinue reading “First (and Secret) Crush”
Countries to Visit?
What countries do you want to visit? I was going to begin with a list of places I did not want to visit, but thought that sounded negative, so I’ll begin with the positive “where I do want to go” places. Since we already have a trip to the UK planned for this fall (England,Continue reading “Countries to Visit?”
