Why Write a Blog?
I'm going to figure this out as I go. I plan to write it something like the many journals of the past, to make an electronic record of things that "pop" in my life. Sometimes I am so amazed by a memory or an idea that just comes to me out of thin air and the only way I can hold on to it is to grab it so I can see it again. So let's just look at that memory, that picture, that experience or insight another time and maybe it will mean something to another reader too.
Mother
She is standing on the beach, the wind blowing her hair in front of her eyes. She is reaching up with her hand, brown splotched with age, to move it away. Her smile reveals jowls and wrinkles and a glistening gold crown on a rear molar.
Thank you Internet!
Today, I'm feeling a little sarcastic. Writing is messy, but chasing the questions you need answers to all day can really fry your brain. It is a wonderfully terrible experience. I couldn't have had so many questions answered or been led down so many rabbit holes in a period of six hours than I have been today. All you have to do is search and you get something. Usually it's a screenful of answers. If you've got speechify, I think you should use it to read this post. Did I subscribe or not, that was so long ago I can't remember?

I am so excited today. Joe Biden has decided to do something important. I'm going to cheer for him if it works. That would take a national frustration away from all of us who have inadvertently signed up for who knows what. Way to go Joe!

Today, I decided to take a break. A break from the play. I decided to do something different, so I cleaned the fridge. I hate cleaning the fridge! I've been working every weekday on the play and the limited series. It was a bit of a bummer to realize that there was other work to do besides writing it. There's a business side and I had no interest in that, but the Sundance Deep Dive Pitch festival really opened my eyes to it. I'm a writer, a storyteller, that's the fun part. Now I have to stretch!
