Now is the time when the wheel of the year turns to its shortest day and longest night. Often this is a time of reflection and thinking back on the events of the year, but this winter solstice feels like a time of looking forward and leaving the year behind without looking back. This feels … Continue reading Merry Winter Solstice!

Hello, December! Only One More Month To Go!
Normally I mourn the closing of an old year as the new year approaches, but this is 2020, and I think most everyone is looking forward to see it come to a swift and irreversible end. The reasons are numerous and well known so I won't attempt to list them all here, I'd probably forget … Continue reading Hello, December! Only One More Month To Go!
Upcoming Staged Reading
A two act, full length stage play I completed a couple of years ago is going to receive a staged reading over Zoom from the Theater for the New City, a New York theater company in the East Village. My play is a workplace drama titled Dermalogic, and is about a small skin care company … Continue reading Upcoming Staged Reading
Finally!
And now that the failed experiment of elevating a reality TV show host with multiple bankruptcies, many stiffed creditors, a long history of fleecing the taxpayers, a childlike temperament, a superficial religiosity, a vast narcissism, an enamorment with dictators, a complete ignorance of Constitutional law, and zero electoral experience into the White House is coming … Continue reading Finally!

I won't go into the candidates or the issues since those have been plenty discussed and most people have … Continue reading Don’t Forget To Vote!

Fibbing Friday (10/16/20)

This one was prompted by pcguyiv, and hopefully my answers are preposterous, … Continue reading Fibbing Friday (10/16/20)
Your Worst Nightmare: A Game Show
(A short stage play in which the main character is stuck inside the darkness of a nightmare, then comes across something unexpected. I originally wrote this for a theatre company in San Francisco looking for nightmare themed short plays, but it was turned down, so I rewrote it and posted it here.) CAST OF CHARACTERS … Continue reading Your Worst Nightmare: A Game Show
99 Word Prompt: Heard It On The Radio
(Another Flash Fiction piece prompted by Carrot Ranch. The prompt is about something you heard on the radio. In this visual internet age, the radio doesn't have the popularity it once did, but it still retains its own particular magic. Turn on a switch, spin a dial, and you can hear music that travels across … Continue reading 99 Word Prompt: Heard It On The Radio
