"She" was right. I am so glad you spent the time to fill in some blanks. The background explains a lot about your interests, your writing and frames your pursuits. Not that it will garner any more respect from me (you have plenty already.) An entertaining read too.
Thank you, Kurt! I've never been convinced that anyone would be interested in my experiences, just my ideas that come as a result of those experiences. But now I see that being able to contextualize my ideas might help people to understand them more.
Scott, wonderful piece here on the O'Neill in a distinctly different time. Just before the major tech revolution in perpetual connectivity, when people talked and listened more--and learned more! At least that's how I remember it from '84. I love the notion of just how long it takes anyone to actually figure out why a play does or doesn't quite work--sometimes it takes a production, or a second look at a second-night staged reading. Happy to be member of your Rarig alumni tribe.

Also, it was nice to remember.
Thank you, Michael. And now you are a teacher there! You can really change a life in no time at all.
Well, that's another story. But for all those decades, like the Buddy Hackett musical title put it: I had a ball.
