I Love a Rainy Night Driving My Life Away, but This Is Ridiculous

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Michael

Cat Boats

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Michael

“Daddy?” said Chad (the gray one). “Tell the story of how you got us?” “Oh, come on,” I sighed. “I need to sleep. Besides, I’ve told you a million times.” Creeping up to the pillow, he whispered, “But we wanna … Continue reading →

Equinoxious: You Autumn Know

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Michael

A concerned friend called last week. “I read your blog,” he said, referring to my most recent litany of professional triumphs. “Thought I should check up on you.” “Oh, that,” I replied dismissively. “I’m fine. You know by now that … Continue reading →

Bad Mood Rising

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Michael

Know what I hate? If you selected D.) everything …then bingo, you’re right. Some days, that’s just the way it is. At least it’s raining and growling outside: if I have to clean my bathroom, then no one else gets … Continue reading →

Cherchez Chiffon: Musty Go On Like That?

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Michael

Back in 1997, on one of the few days I can actually remember from my time living in Provincetown (*hic!*), I was recording some demos for a musical I’d been writing. The studio was in the home of one Dini … Continue reading →

Nik of Time: Maybe if he spelled it “Ker$haw”….

Posted on August 13, 2012 by Michael

Have you guys ever heard of Nik Kershaw? He’s a British singer-songwriter who had a couple of minor hits over here in the 80s (though of course he was huge overseas – apparently a theme in my pop fandom), the … Continue reading →

I Am Thunder! I Am Wonder! Very Very Frightening Me!

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Michael

“What is that?!” I gasped from the back seat of the head-scratchingly named Plymouth Fury III. It was early summer 1976, I was twelve (and a half!), and something cool was coming out of the single dashboard speaker. “Oh, I … Continue reading →

Medieval Woman: Ladyblog, Ladyblog

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Michael

We survived the Lady reading last week! And much as I hate to admit it, I actually learned a whole bunch of stuff. Most of it’s good news: we’re definitely onto something. There’s much rewriting/reconsidering to do (not to mention … Continue reading →

Rehearsal of Fortune: Macbeth, I hear you callin’

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Michael

I’m a little late with the blog this week – not that there’s been any sort of public outcry or anything – but I do have a good excuse. I was in rehearsal all day for a quick-and-dirty reading of … Continue reading →

My Brilliant Careen

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Michael

I haven’t driven a car since 1991. Or, more accurately, that’s when my license expired. I did drive in P’town once in ’98 or so, but only because the friend who’d brought us to the A-house was asleep by the … Continue reading →
