Madison, Wisconsin. He/him. Playwright. Actor. Rideshare driver. Beatles obsessive. Atheist. Politically lefty. Writer's block sufferer. Trying to live a low-key life of gratitude and do some good where I'm able.

Recently, a big Formula One fan.
I'm working the polls at 6am on a -10 degree fahrenheit day in a primary with a <10% turnout.

Trying hard to keep the embers of democracy glowing.

One of my fondest memories is attending Jimmy Carter's Sunday School class in Plains, GA in 2019.

Rest in peace, Mr. President.

Day 25
Stevie Wonder
Overjoyed

Because I just saw the man in concert tonight for the first time in my life and I'm going to be buzzing for weeks.

Senior citizen tries to watch games in peace, only to have the people behind him ruin it by jabbering on and on about the next 500 Songs episode.

Day 32
Try A Little Tenderness
Otis Redding
1966

I couldn't decide if I wanted one of Otis's smouldering ballads or a raucous uptempo number. Then I thought, why not both?
