I was sitting in a restaurant today, and in walks this peculiar looking man. His clothes were a little weather worn it appeared, but it was raining outside, so I didn’t pay it any mind. I shouldn’t anyway; it’s a free country, right? The man can dress however he wants; doesn’t need [...] [Read more →]
So it looks like the Writer’s Guild of America is actually going to go through with their strike. It was announced some time ago that this might happen; the producers and studios knew it was coming. Now it’s finally here. It’s like having to clean up your house; you put it off, knowing [...] [Read more →]
When I write this it is 3:00 am, and I reflect on the day that I had just spent. Currently, I’m serving as Technical Director for Belhaven’s Music Dept. production of Gondoliers. We spent today building the set. I had a good time doing it. A lot of work and a [...] [Read more →]

Johnston, a lady who I have collaborated with on two musical theatre shows, both having been produced. They are both talented people and I feel privileged to work with both of them. Looking forward [...] [Read more →]
One day, about a year ago, I went outside to exercise – which consisted of walking down the street for several miles – and I saw something quite grotesque. It was a dead opossum who had apparently been hit by a car. I thought to myself, well, that’s Mississippi for you. So [...] [Read more →]
So I was browsing on Facebook the other day, looking for potential groups to join. I’m only a part of three or four. I’d like to join more, but first off, the only time I think of it is when I’m on Facebook, and secondly, most of the group names are so ridiculous [...] [Read more →]
Have you guys heard about the new ‘high’? Drink about four cups of water in one sitting and whenever you start feeling the urge to go pee, instead of heading straight to the restroom, hold it for 60-90 minutes. Forget alcohol, forget narcotics, even forget sky diving. This is safe, it’s legal, [...] [Read more →]
