An aging ham ponders life
Multitudes of malingering mountain maggots! My mind is in the fogs of haze, the pits of confusion striding bravely though walls of solid snow not knowing but caring where it goes. Wearing naked cloth upon his clothed brow to soak the beads of pearl that pour from around his eyes. I see the fires of... Continue Reading →
Passing friends march together on different planes at different times. Their footsteps echo through murky fog that muffles and drags sound screaming through its own pomposity. They know each other well yet have not met and no matter how far they walk, they never will. Passing friends march together to different beats on different drums.... Continue Reading →
With time on my hands, I discover the uncovered country that had never been there all along. It drags me through sights that I had always forgotten and blew me back the breath I sighed. I have asked it to stop, but time it seems, is too short for rest. "I've never been able to... Continue Reading →

I did the monologue from the play I did last year, with some minor adjustments for contextual reference, and I was able to draw out that deep emotional state I achieved in the show itself. I am convinced that the director... Continue Reading →
I am preping to get back on stage this weekend. Monday night I shall audition for Noël Coward's Design For Living which is an interesting production. Rather risqué for it's day, and some might say, even so today, it follows the peculiar life of a three way love affair. The interactions of the three main... Continue Reading →
I’m not a big fan of these Facebook based “Copy&Paste” Status things, but a lot of people clearly are. I decided to do something a little different with one, and here is the result. I hope it makes you laugh. 1. Are you named after someone? I’m sure I was. There must have been babies […]... Continue Reading →
