The title of this column is actually a quote by Loren Eiseley. In fact, I used to own a T-shirt with this quote on it. It’s always been an amazing medium to me, that’s for sure. For there is nothing that can create magic quite as easily as water. I always feel better in or... Continue Reading →
I typically don’t do a lot with community theater over the summer. It’s a very busy time for me, and the season is so short that I don’t want a lot of commitments keeping me indoors and away from all that warmth and sunshine.

Barbara, my roommate from Florida, was the first to volunteer. Having spent a few hours chatting in our room the night before, I was not surprised. Barbara is fearless and... Continue Reading →
Funny how inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of places at times. Today was that kind of day. Actually, the last few days were that kind of day. A "Polar Vortex" had hit Wisconsin and the whole state kind of shut down over the span of three days. Oh, we fought it though. We kept going... Continue Reading →
Sometimes you don't know the power of a decision when you first make it, or how many people it will affect as you move through life. Years ago, I forget how many, I had a small problem. I had a debit card and a credit card from two completely different entities, but they looked identical.... Continue Reading →
Morning’s the time when my mind likes to play. Not sure what it is about washing my face and brushing my teeth that is zen-like, but many times this is where I get my best ideas. This is why I’m never far from paper and pen. When those ideas start flowing, they come so fast... Continue Reading →
