There’s nothing quite like going to a party to remind you where you land on the introversion / extraversion spectrum — as well as so many other spectrums — but last night I was particularly reminded of the former. Sometimes the best way to describe inner experience is visually. I have been wracking my brainContinue reading “The Trouble with Ambiverts”

The Spaces In Between
If you’ve been following along, I’m attempting to get past some “bloggers block”, where I have an assortment of stories I could be sharing, and I’m struggling to figure out how to parse them out into something reasonably coherent and semi-entertaining for y’all. So I figure I’d start there. The fact that communicating can beContinue reading “The Spaces In Between”
Moving Forward
Whether it’s incredible successes or heart wrenching losses — both of which we tend to experience in any given year or two — there comes a time, amidst your brooding by that old oak tree in your amygdala, as you have been for countless days and nights, pages of your journal open to those oldContinue reading “Moving Forward”
Birth Astride a Grave
There’s nothing quite like a birthday to inspire thoughts of one’s eventual deathday. It’s possible this is unique to me, yet I’ve noted a pattern over the years. When I think about my coming into the world, my mind smoothly segues to contemplating a future day when I will come out of it. Admittedly theContinue reading “Birth Astride a Grave”
Birthmonth Begins
In honor of my favorite time of year, I bring you timely excerpts from my favorite poem: And indeed there will be timeTo wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?” Do I dare disturb the universe?In a minute there is timeFor decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. And would it have beenContinue reading “Birthmonth Begins”
Times Like These
There are times in life when it feels like it’s all you can do to take it one day at a time. When the world puts you in reaction mode, one mini-crisis to the next, and your waking hours consist entirely of parrying the attacks. And not forgetting to breathe. Out and in, out andContinue reading “Times Like These”
A Sandcastle’s End
Today was good.Today was fun.Tomorrow is another one. Dr. Seuss It’s difficult to say what happened, exactly, that made this latest theatrical journey such a powerful experience. Some have said it’s that we tried something completely out of our comfort zone. But we’ve done that before. Some suggest that it’s the incredible cast, oozing withContinue reading “A Sandcastle’s End”
Sandcastle Building: T minus 20 Days to Launch
I’ve reached the point in directing a show where even on my “days off” I still find myself working on the show. Not that it needs the extra work – more that it’s just such a frolicking good time. Thus it continues.
Sandcastle Building: Houston, We Have a Production
Our ticketing site is set up, and the publicity launch began yesterday on the socials. I guess this virtual theatre concoction of mine really has to happen now. Although it would be super funny in that Andy Kaufman way if people showed up to the online event and there was just a photo of myContinue reading “Sandcastle Building: Houston, We Have a Production”
Sandcastle Building: Don’t Underestimate the Force
This post has been a long time drafting. Not that it’s going to be very long, it’s more that the show has taken on some degree of substantive form, which means it has mass, and it’s accelerating, which means it has force, which means I haven’t set aside much time this past week to continueContinue reading “Sandcastle Building: Don’t Underestimate the Force”
