Chew on this

If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?

Would somebody ask Lonnie Donegan?

I Love Andrew

I just got the call five minutes ago: I’m cast as Andrew in the Evergreen Players’ production of I Hate Hamlet. We open the day before the Ides of March. Come see it! It will be a funny show—Sarah Roshan and Bernie Cardell are directing!

cogito ergo sum or sum ergo cogito?

The Introvert’s Lament

Why can’t I be like everyone else? I want to be able to go to noisy, crowded bars and have fun. I want to enjoy… you know… people. Why can’t I be like other people who like to laugh and drink and dance and rock out to very very very loud music?

What an absolutely beautiful day today. I wish I could spend it with my love. Perhaps I am, wherever she is. Oh well, there will be other beautiful days. But not like this one.

It was after leaving the biodiesel pump when things got interesting. A guy making a right turn after me honked at me for coming to a complete stop before making my right turn. ACTUALLY HONKED AT ME for obeying the traffic laws!
