Focus on the Elements of Winning Plays – The Judging Criteria
No Problem. Right? I’ve been trying to find the time to give over to my own writing projects, and short plays keep cropping up! Short plays—10 Minute Jobs seem so appealing. Why is this? Well, maybe it’s not obvious, but it’s true that short plays seem as if they would be relatively easy to put […]
The baby on our doorstep – a video rescue story.
You can’t imagine how surprised and delighted we were to find a Great Horned Owl chick on our back porch one morning. We still can’t figure out how it got there. We never saw a nest or any other indication that there was a owl pair hanging out close by. But… well, watch the video! […]

The Allure of Unpredictable Love and “Fatal Attraction”
According to Richard A. Friedman, there is “a curious paradox of human behavior: the allure of unpredictable romantic partners,” that can get us in all kinds of deep water And it’s interesting to find out that this phenomenon is a documented biological event, not just anecdotal chit chat. Friedman, professor of clinical psychiatry, and the […]
