Musings on a Midsummer Morning
I'm sitting at my kitchen counter getting my carpet cleaned. Last year when I got my carpet cleaned, I walked on
the wet carpet and not realizing how wet my feet were, I slipped on my bathroom floor. I didn't go down, but
I tweaked my toe somehow. I looked down and the second toe on my left foot looked very odd. I thought, "that
toe isn't supposed to be bent over so far to the right. I'll just push it back." So I did.
And didn't think anything of it. There was no pain. But three hours later, it was all swollen and purple
and shit and what a dope I was...never put ice on it or anything. Oh yeah, and the pain came later. Like I said, what a dope!
Anyway, you live and learn. This year, I won't go ice skating on my bathroom floor. Oh, did I mention how
pretty my carpet looks?
My reading was two nights ago. We had a good turn-out and the audience seemed to
like the play. Or they were being polite. I can never tell. I'm sending a HUGE THANK YOU to my mom,
Annette and brother-in-law Kelley who totally helped me with the concessions. They helped to finance it, did the set-up,
the clean-up...Oh....I love them. Thanks you guys!!!
The actors, Shaughn Buchholz, Heidi Darchuk, and Christopher
Goodson did a great job. And a huge thanks to Jeff Weatherford who arranged for the whole thing and directed the piece.
I hope we can go the distance with this thing. I really do. Now, I need to go write another play.
Ok...off to watch the carpets dry! Thanks for reading! Until the next time...

Triangle Logic
I guess I'm not very good at this blogging thing. I'm sort of averaging one a month. Anyway, I'm here
to talk about my play, Triangle Logic, which will have it's first LA staged reading on Tuesday, July 29th. Triangle Logic is a dark comedy that examines the relationships between one straight woman and two gay
men. No...it's not autobiographical! Ok...not TOTALLY! The reading will be directed
by the great and wonderful JEFF WEATHERFORD and features Shaughn Buchholz, Chris Goodson and Heidi Darchuk. Here are the details: The Lounge Theatre Tuesday, July 29, 2008 8:00 PM 6201 Santa Monica Blvd.
Hollywood, CA 90039 Santa Monica Blvd @ El Centro just one block East of Vine. The event is FREE!!! And
we will have wine and snacks available for a mere donation for the cause. It should be a lot of fun, so come on out for
a great night! If you can't make it because you're out of town or somethin', I completely understand, but
if you're around, I do hope you'll attend. Ok...that's all for now on this balmy midsummer evening.
I will make a better attempt to blog more frequently....I actually have a lot to say and a lot on my mind...I'm just not
sure I want to make it public, ya know? Oh...get your minds out of the gutter...it's OTHER STUFF! Most of
it anyway!  Until the next time...
