What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? When I announced my retirement, people asked me what I would do in my free time. “Travel and creative projects!” I would say. There hasn’t been as much travel as I would have liked because, well, let’s face it, arranging a trip is often likeContinue reading “And….Action!”

Day One: London
The travel to Heathrow by air was not too bad. We had a great pair of Air Canada counter employees help us check-in and then board; they seemed to be the majority of the staff and moved back and forth with positive attitudes all the time. (This would prove to be the exception for theContinue reading “Day One: London”
Leader of the Pack (Vroom Vroom)
Do you see yourself as a leader? I read this prompt and said, “Well, yeah!” That was, of course, after the song lyric and motorcycle smoke cleared from my brain. As a college professor and theatre director, I naturally took the lead with classes of students and casts of actors. In the early days ofContinue reading “Leader of the Pack (Vroom Vroom)”
Relax? Don’t Do It!
How do you relax? I may have mentioned here in the past that my mind is a free association jukebox. I look at a prompt and a corresponding song comes to mind. As for relaxation, there’s been way too little of that lately. Bits and pieces have been revealed before, but in a nutshell, myContinue reading “Relax? Don’t Do It!”
They Called Him the Streak
As is often the case, my title comes from a song. I see by my analytics and notifications that I’ve been on the 165 day streak with these blog posts. That’s about to come to a crashing end as I prepare to go on vacation. Looking at my itinerary, it looks like I won’t haveContinue reading “They Called Him the Streak”
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”
Summer Better Than Others
What is your favorite season of year? Why? Of the seasons, I prefer summer for a variety of reasons. We’ll get to those reasons in a moment, but let’s look at the cons of the others. Winter has cold and often snow. Although I did some sledding as a child, this was not as fulfillingContinue reading “Summer Better Than Others”
Luxury!?
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? An odd prompt. Once again, I am pressed to define something before I can comment on it. To me, a luxury is something that one doesn’t need but possesses to enjoy. Luxuries are those things that one can win on a game show. I don’t need aContinue reading “Luxury!?”
At Knife Point
I’m on vacation this week, and trying to take it easy (but still keep up my blogging streak!). The first day was travel and check-in. The second day was very relaxing for me since my fiancee slept late due to back pain from the trip. After playing around with ChatGPT to create Socratic dialogues betweenContinue reading “At Knife Point”
Arriving Somewhere…Not Here…
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? In the run-up to the last election, I posted a short video on TikTok, asking, “What are you for?” So many people were posting what they were against, and I thought I’d take a more positive approach. The one longer comment I gotContinue reading “Arriving Somewhere…Not Here…”
