STORY SHAPE: MORE SAG IN THE MIDDLE?

March 3, 2026 by

Story shape and physical fitness have that in common, the middle. From the beginning of ‘good fortune,’ the main character has a few moments until things dip downward. Think of the fanatical diet and exercise demon losing their edge in a Las Vegas buffet and taking off from the high dive into the Mexican, Italian, […]

YOU TIME + ME TIME = OUR TIME

March 2, 2026 by

‘Our time’ is full of hope and promise for a better world. That’s what I learned in kindergarten and it set me on my path. Maybe it’s a baby boomer notion, or maybe it’s everyone over a certain age who feels that hope. Either way a better world has been a long time coming and […]

HISTORY BUSINESS MINDS THE STORE

February 27, 2026 by

History business is a museum, a class, an artifact. It’s all of that and more: it’s you, me, and the guy down the road. If you ask someone about it, you might hear something like, “I learned history in school.” There are other responses to the question, “What does history mean to you?”

ONE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE AFTER ANOTHER, 659 words

February 24, 2026 by

Consider, if you will, the attraction industry’s ‘immersive experience.’ Go here, do this; Go there, do that. Repeat as needed, as desired, as often as you feel like escaping the life around you? If that’s the goal, sign me up. So far I’ve immersed in what no attraction industry would offer. Maybe I’m not in […]

PLAY ACTING STOPPAGE

February 10, 2026 by

Acting? Play acting? Playing? What’s the difference when an actor is playing a part? I’ve seen the difference from my third row center season tickets at The Armory. For years my wife and mother in-law were theater buddies, two outgoing ladies of a certain age parking underground, riding up in elevators, and walking the cement sidewalks […]

RISK AVOIDANCE FOR WASHINGTON POST IN BEZOS’ WORLD? WRITER PLEASE

February 8, 2026 by

The only risk avoidance for the Washington Post firings, layoffs, retirements? Avoid holding their place at the top of the print media pyramid. No matter the metric, The Washington Post was among the top five, if not top three with The NY Times and Wall Street Journal. Maybe it will stay up there, but not […]

NOT A SPORTS FAN? NOW YOU ARE

February 7, 2026 by

The last time I explained about being a sports fan? Last night. In what has become a highlight, we spent the evening with another couple. Watching Friday Night Wrestling on the Big10 Network. My pal had never seen a wrestling match. He was a fast learner.
