Yes, it’s the middle of the night (well, 4:11 AM), but I could not wait to write about the dream that I just awoke from because it amused me so much. For some reason, I found it very funny and felt the need to write about it, lest I forget the punchline. My dream involved…
I actually did some work on “Graveyard Shift” tonight. I completely rewrote part 4, taking it in a whole different direction, with the same outcome, however. I think it goes a long way to beginning to really improve the overall story and it adds yet another plot complication that ties in with the newly added…
I had a dream last night that I was on a large ship in outer space. For some reason, we couldn’t get back to Earth, and there was only a month’s oxygen or so remaining. I remember feeling a little nervous about that, but mainly, it didn’t bother me too much because just being out…
I am heading up to New York this weekend to spend the weekend with Norm and Vicky, who apparently have all sorts of exciting things planned (pizza at Martios, some kind of concert on Saturday night, some geocaching, etc.) Even though it’s only Wednesday, I’m already getting antsy about the week being over and I…
As I mentioned earlier, we had our first softball game tonight and we lost; the final score was 22-16, but it was dark in the last inning and we probably shouldn’t have played it. We still would have lost but the final score would have been 17-14. Still, it was fun. I went 3 for…
I’m about to head out to our first softball game of the season, and the first game for which I am co-captain of the team. We are playing Senator Dole’s delegation up by Catholic University, where they have their own field. I think we’ll have a pretty good turnout and it should be fun. I’ve…
I started reading Buzz Bissinger’s book 3 Nights In August at lunch today and I noticed that the book has a preface, a foreword, and a prologue. I’ve seen this on one or two occasions in the past, but today it made me wonder two things: 1. What is the difference between a preface and…
A couple of months ago, Vicky suggested that I should include something in my blog that describes the people that I refer to, especially for people who don’t know who I am talking about. To that end, you’ll notice a new link on the side bar called “Cast of Characters”. This page describes the more…
It is, by now, a well-known fact that I don’t beleive in the supernatural at all. I don’t believe in ghosts because I don’ t believe in life after death. I am, I suppose, a Jewish atheist, which means I get to feel guilty about being an atheist. In any event, if I did believe…
I wasn’t feeling well last night and so I took a sick day today. I slept in late (until 10 AM, which is very late for me these days) and I felt a little better when I woke up. I have mixed feelings about sick days. On the one hand, I think it’s important that…
