Point Made

 Summer is here! Kinda. We are experiencing a heatwave here in the City by the Inland Sea. We expect average high temperatures in the high sixties. Our temps have, before the last few of days have reached the mideighties. Activities for the last week included a Zeilber event with The Milwaukee Rep. I did not facilitate. I joined as a participant. Again our client wanted to discuss racism and the role theater could take in promoting and bettering the discussion of racism. Was I happy being a participant? I'm Irish, for crying out loud. Of course, I wanted to comment. The theater is populated with stand-out opportunities to confront racism. The Milwaukee regional theater scene is populated with actors and directors of color who can blow the walls down with exciting and engaging pieces that can love, enrage, and educate us about the Black Experience in American life. I previewed Neat, which showed the life of a young woman as she memorized her mentally damaged aunt and moving from th...

 Tah-Dah I forget when I first heard someone use this word (?) to imply the something magical had happened. Look what I did, if you will. This week I've jumped through all of the hoops in the processes of getting my book into the guts of the IngramSpark publishing Behemoth. It accepted my files and sent me an E-proof.

Or, you may prefer to order it from your favorite brick-and-mortar local bookstore like Boswell's here in Milwaukee. I will supply the ISBN #, so it's easy to find This process takes a bit of time. They tell me the proce...

Pandering to my reader's need to view images of my great-grandchildren Brixton Jonny Bird & Lil Ledge                      Amy Evens & Boden Now that I have your attention. There is a community in Brazil surrounded by a country that is being ravaged by the COVID. They are wide open and enjoying life. Why? It appears when you've vaccinated close to one hundred percent of the adult population, you've won the battle with COVID. You can't safely be an unmasker if you're an anti-vaxxer. Ask me what I think of a President that spends all of his energy and time trying to keep out refugees from countries we helped turn into hell holes. At the same time, he looked on while millions of people contracted the COVID 19 virus that ultimately killed over a half million people. Question? How many people in the US will die because we took in these refugees? I Don't Know When It Started, But It's Got To Stop I am speaking of course about the ...
