I Went To The Land Down Under!
So I’m *finally getting around to blogging about my trip to Australia and Hong Kong, a mere *77* days after returning from said trip. I’m trying to think of a way that (a) won’t take me eleventy billion years to write it all and (b) won’t bore everyone to tears. Oh and (c) I can piece […] →Read more
If you sent me a Christmas card…
… it might be delayed getting to me: That’s what the mailboxes in my building look like right now. I assumed some nefarious person had smashed into them for nefarious purposes, but apparently the mail carrier accidentally broke it and they had to send away for parts, so we aren’t getting mail in my building […] →Read more

Meta
The first time I learned about the concept of “meta” (though not by that name) was in my undergrad when I was taking first year drama and we studied a play called Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello, which we were taught was “self-reflexive” ((Although I see it is described in the […] →Read more
Workshop
Today’s blog posting is limited because I was too busy doing a workshop and then a conference planning teleconference and now I’m off to dinner and to see Avenue Q! The workshop was a great success – the participants were very engaged and seemed to like what I had to offer. It was also a […] →Read more
