This isn’t nearly as impressive as I feel like it should be, but I’ve had moments of excitement imagining what it’d be like to have long hair over the last several months. I still haven’t been able to replicate where I was at age 4, but you never know. It’s getting old, but I’ll...

Guess I must be feeling optimistic about the year ahead. Here are some ideas about what to put on for the next FronteraFest (a year from now?): Snatch and Release: This is a script I already have, and intended to feature at a variety show last summer, about a punk band that has to...

That’s right, another decimal-place-laden post. This was the goal for mid-December. It was difficult and tiring – but satisfying too. Planning for the half marathon at year’s end. Then maybe I’ll take it down a notch....
