It’s been a while since I’ve been in here, and there’s been a lot going on in the world (obvi), but I wanted to get down some goals and try to hold myself accountable to them over the next several months. Here they are, in chronological order: Write a new experimental short play for...

Honored to be featured on Episode #2 of the fine, new, entertaining podcast Stories Found. The story I tell (I can’t quite make myself type the name of it here for some reason) is actually one I originally wrote 20 years ago. I remember sending it to a highfalutin literary journal at the time....

It’s been a year since I got to wear a special bracelet, and I’ve had a number of physical ups and downs since then. Early on, I seemed to make a quick, strong recovery. But then odd pains and side effects showed up in the new year. Seems I’m not quite as impervious to...

Now that it may be months (or years?) until people feel comfortable crowding into a theater again, I’m thinking on and off about alternate projects to work on. I have a prose thing that I may post about some day (and possibly even ask YOU about), but I’ve started to think about audio dramas...

So it’s been nine months since I had this procedure done (I guess I need to say “elective procedure” these days?). I recovered relatively quickly, and since that time I’ve played basketball, softball, volleyball, and run up to 10 miles at a stretch. But… it hasn’t been the full rebound I hoped for. I’ve...

I’m not a big musical fan in general, though there are a handful of them I enjoy. I thought La La Land was all right, but I thought the opening scene was absolutely brilliant. I’ve probably watched it 15 times on its own, about half a dozen times during one plane ride last year...
