  • Monday’s on Music #3: Ski Songs

    Over a winter I get out and do a lot of skiing. Last season I had something like 50 ski days, and this year I am still working on my count. One might say that I am a regular ski bum, but I can be due to the fact that A lot of the work…

  • The Gift of Theatre

    As a theatre professional I probably often take theatre for granted.  I live and breathe theatre all the time and I really enjoy what I do, but sometimes that fact does take a lot of the magic out of it for me.  I enjoy going to the theatre to see shows that I am not…

  • Religion, Beliefs, Blogs…

    …Faith, God, Prayer… It sounds like a list of tags, but they are themes that I seem to come across often in the blogs that I read.  I don’t have an issue with this, I just find it interesting how much and how many people publicly talk about these things.  I don’t know why it…

    “Would you like to play a game?” Many people around my age or older probably recognize that line from the 1983 film “War Games” starring Matthew Broderick.  The WOPR, a military supercomputer puts the US and Soviet armies on high alert when David Lightman (Broderick) hacks into it thinking it is a game developer’s.  Needless…

  • Mondays on Music #2

    This post is probably long overdue and probably very overdone, but the idea has been nagging at me for months. It really all started over this past summer. I spend my summers working at Indian and Forest Acres camps. They are brother and sister camps in Maine, with kids ranging in age from 7-17. What…
