Sometimes, it just gets weird...
My newest client, a non-profit, had it's opening fundraising event for the summer tonight at a mega-church. I've never geen to a mega-church before and, other than a very large congregation, wasn't entirely sure what defined a mega-church. Tonight, I think I figured it out. This is what I saw ( Read more... ) -
Figured something out this morning...
I rode to / from my 6.45a meeting. That's about 9m (considering I got lost once). After I got back home, I felt like I was going to throw up. And that's when I had my realization: That's how this exercise thing works. It's so strenuous people can't eat. -
Waiting for Godot, 1956, First Broadway Production, Original Cast Recording...
1956. Second US production of Waiting for Godot. Broadway. Bert Lahr (the cowardly lion) and E.G. Marshall (12 Angry Men, The Defenders...) headline the cast. And, as it is said, the rest is history. Samuel Beckett didn't have to worry ever again about putting food on the table.

This will be a new experience...
I just scheduled my first two trips on the Americans with Disabilities Act bus. They're simple trips, to and from a couple of doctor appointments this week. If all goes well, this will become a regular part of my transportation repetoire. Reservations are set for Wednesday and Friday. --Fingers are crossed. -
I finally figured out...

I Don't Want a Lover
I Don't Want a Lover.
I don't want a lover.
Infatuations fall out of fashion.
I don't want someone who's beautiful
Because a pretty thing is like a sweater:
Moths feast on it during the summer and
Come autumn I might want something new.
Besides, pretty things don't keep me warm
When bitter winter winds creep under the door.
I don't want a living doll with ( Read more... ) -
Just finished listening to...
... The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides. It wasn't as tragic as I thought it might be, but it was still rather damn sad. In many places, the book reminds me of Brideshead Revisited, especially as it describes the halcyon days of priviledged youth and the unfortunate end some lives reach. Even the theme of traditional religion ( Read more... )
