It has been a strange week of irritants and idiots. Ron got in from Hawai’i yesterday morning and promptly went to bed. I had tried calling him late afternoon to accompany me in going downtown to get my MRI films for my ankle (I go see Dr. Chuckles this afternoon). I could tell Ron’s phone…

(from Wednesday night) Sitting here at the coffee shop. Ron is across from me reading the latest Men’s Health magazine and learning how he can accentuate the parts of his physique that his girlfriend is most likely to like. We just got back from dinner at Mars – I had the Szechuan chicken. I got…

In probably the smoothest event of being outed ever – I was officially homosexualized to the sister of my one of my best friends from high school. I haven’t really ‘come out’ to most of the kids I went to high school with. I figure they’ll figure it out when I show up at a…

I’ve been at a seminar all weekend and reporting out on a separate website. Day 1: Have You Chosen to Do Something Great? Day 2: What other people think of you is really not your business. Extra: Smack on the Forehead Day 3: Today!

I was telling Anthony at dinner Tuesday night that I needed to go home and visit my grandmother. I’ve written about her here many times before. She’s now 96, nonverbal and mostly cloudy in a long term care center in Louisville. Still when I look into her steely blue eyes I can tell she recognizes…

Ever return to something you wrote years and years ago and just knew that it was going to be less than you’d remembered? I started my dive back into Antigone to update my adaptation of the Greek tragedy for a production this fall in Columbus. I just knew that the play would show it’s age.…

In case any new readers are reading this blog for the first time – know that the vitriol in the next post is not my usual flavor of bile. To counteract I’ve posted some pictures of kittycats!

I think I’ve mentioned this guy before. He has his watch in front of him and stares at it as he walks up and down the street. He’ll say things like It’s coming sooner than think! or It’s about that time! Passed him again today and I suddenly realize he is the White Rabbit from…

I had a friend who grew up in South African proclaim Rooibus teas the ultimate tea to drink. The tea is from a select genus of plants that are only grown in a small area near Cape Town. It’s a legume! The Rooibus teas contain no caffeine and the harvesting process is completely free of…
