This is the part of the website where I plug stuff I am involved in that I think everyone should be involved in with me.
Upcoming Showcase Arts Foundation Inc. events. (I am the Creative Director for this group, SAFI as we affectionately refer to it, but you can call me the “the big cheese”) —

I have sad news. My oldest dog, my buddy, the Sudz man often known as the brudder man, from the udder land, the only boy in the house is no more.
He couldn’t see very well and had selective hearing. Dr Mathews took about half his teeth out last year so he could eat only half [...]
We own two houses in the town we live in. We own businesses and pay taxes. My lawn is mowed. There is no crap on my lawn nor is there anything up on blocks sitting in plain view. I cannot say this about my neighbors. The town in which we live, Dunedin Florida, was just [...]
Next month we will be performing the play I personally chose for us to do this year. I am proud of this choice because it was written by my favorite script writing guy, John Patrick Shanley. The play is called “Italian American Reconciliation”. JPS has a lousy sense of titles for a guy who writes [...]

I need to talk about politics. It’s genetic. My father made it so. He never shut up about politics unless he was talking about sports or science. He was very left. Left of Al Franken. This one topic is the thing that kept my father and I from murdering each other. It was the one [...]
Dan and Beth say that my handwriting is horrible. You may agree. There will be contests. There may be prizes (other than the great satisfaction to know you are smarter than most people). There may not.
Keep an eye out for the first of many of these challenging, real life puzzles.
I run a theater company in my copious spare time. Soon I will regale you with tales of community theater. I know you wait with bated breath.
…are the best things that happen to you.
I lost my Mother and then found my Father. This is an example and it’s true. My wife has cancer. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma to be exact. This is not good but it’s a lot better than it could have been. It could have been more life threatening instead of [...]
