Summer!

Family visits

Beach days and barbecues

Vacation sights

Seeing old friends

Meeting new ones

Reading under the trees

Writing there, too

Summertime

Celestron Dreams

When the rains stops, we plan to enjoy our new Celestron Telescope. Until then, we'll read the latest Lucy and Stephen Hawking adventure.

The ART of Playwriting

French Playwright Yasmina Reza wins another Tony award for her brilliant play, GOD OF CARNAGE. Her first win was for ART in 1994. Both plays, translated by Christopher Hampton, feature intriguing characters and biting, thought-provoking dialogue. Stellar performances only add to a wonderful theatrical experience.

The Landmine is Me

Reading an oldie, but a goodie:

ZEN IN THE ART OF WRITING 

by Ray Bradbury (Bantam 1990)

I have come up with a new simile to describe myself lately. It can be yours. Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces together. Now, it's your turn. Jump!

Spring Fever

It's that time of year.
Even Elvis had SPRING FEVER.

Across the Universe

In honor of National Poetry Month, let's not forget that songwriters are poets, too.

"Words are flowing out like 

endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass away

They slip across the universe."

John Lennon

Inner Superhero!

Busy, busy, busy. 

Life clicks along keeping us all on the run. I believe I've got a Superhero lurking inside, just itching to take command of the chaos. 

First, I've got to find some purple tights. I hope the cape is optional.
