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!

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

Visit here to read and hear all the lyrics.

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.
