“The Enigma,”Gustave Doré, 1871
That awesome day when your Twin Sister sends you “writer fuel.”
Nobody tell her that I am just sitting here stuffing my face and watching “The Zombie Diaries” (2006). (It’s been a long day, people.)
“Fallen Chair,” Egon Schiele, 1912
“I throw my passport in the sea …”
The world’s very first science fiction movie.
Georges Méliès’ “A Trip to the Moon.” (1902).
I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t quite follow all of this … why are the scientists dressed like wizards at first? Do the planets somehow make it snow on the moon at one point? Those crazy French.

Three of my poems are featured in Impspired Issue 26.
I am absolutely honored today to see three of my poems published in Issue 26 of Impspired in the United Kingdom. The three poems are “At the Coffee Shop,” “Autumn Girl” and “A Poet’s Short Note to His Muse.”
You can find all three poems right here. The print edition will be released at the end of January.
Thanks once again to Editor Steve Cawte for allowing me to see my work appear in such an outstanding independent literature magazine!
“Frohe Weihnachten!” 1907
“Merry Christmas!” Color lithograph.
The (Renovated) Arena Stage.
So this is the Arena Stage in Washington D.C., these days. I saw a play there as a college student in 1994 or so. (There was a major renovation and expansion project since my days at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia.)
I don’t even remember which production we saw, to be honest with you. (I’m pretty sure it was Shakespeare.) But I remember that the trip seemed exciting. Fredericksburg really was just a mid-sized town back in the 1990’s. Going into Washington D.C. at night with about 100 other theater students to see a live production felt like a pretty big deal.
And the trip and the show were a blast.
